Mountain Goats - Absolute Linthops Effect lyrics

rate me

After one long season of waiting

After one long season of wanting

I am breaking open

My insides are pink and raw

And it hurts me when I move my jaw

But I am taking tiny steps forward

And I, I feel sure that my wounds will heal

And I, I will bloom

Here in my room

WIth a little water

And a little bit of sunlight

And a little bit of tender mercy

Tender mercy

The big trucks come up the highway

And the big wheels rattle my windows

And night, night comes to Texas

After one blind season alone in here

After one long sweltering summer

I, I'm going to find the exit

And I will go to the house of a friend I know

And I, I will let myself forget

With a little water

And a little bit of sunlight

And a little bit of tender mercy

Tender mercy
