Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Bluejays and Cardinals

Bluejays and cardinals all come out to play

The highway traffic gets out of your way

Skies clear up if they're overcast

Pit bulls are gentle when you come past

Stars come out hiding for you

And I would too but this world couldn't hold you

You slipped free

Yeah, this world couldn't hold you

You slipped free

Without me

New sheen all over everything

When you open up your mouth to sing

Baseballs travel further when you watch them fly

Apples fatten on the trees when you walk by

You bring something unreplacable to each and every day

Or you used to, anyway

But this world couldn't hold you

And you slipped free

Yeah, this world couldn't hold you

And you slipped free

Without me
