Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

1 John 4:16

In the holding tank I built for myself, it's feeding time

And I start to feel afraid 'cause I'm the last one left

in line

The endless string of summer storms that led me to today

Began one afternoon with you, long ago and far away

And someone leads the beast in on its chain

But I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about

to rain

So I won't be afraid of anything ever again

In the cell that holds my body back, the door swings wide

And I feel like someone's lost child as the guards lead

me outside

And if the clouds are gathering, it's just to point the

way

To an afternoon I spent with you when it rained all day

And someone leads the beast in on its chain

But I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about

to rain

So I won't be afraid of anything ever again
