Mountain Goats - Never Quite Free lyrics

rate me

It's all good to learn that right outside your window

There's only friendly fields and open roads

And you'll sleep better when you think

You've stepped back from the brink

And found some peace inside youself

Laid down your heavy load

It gets all right to dream at night

Believe in solid skies and slate blue earth below

But when you see him you'll know

It's okay to find the faith to saunter forward

With no fear of shadows spreading where you stand

And you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you

And the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land

It gets okay to praise the day

Believe in sheltering skies and stable earth beneath

But hear his breath come through his teeth

Walk by faith

Tell no one what you've seen

It's all good to learn that from right here the view goes on forever

And you'll never want for comfort and you'll never be alone

See the sunset turning red let all be quiet in your head

And look about, all the stars are coming out

They shine like steel swords

Wish me well where I go

But when you see me you'll know
