Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

If You See Light

When the villagers come to my door, I will hide underneath the table in the dining room

Knees drawn to my chest

When the villagers come to my door, I will breathe shallow breaths from high up in my stomach

I'll ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Waiting for the front door to splinter

Waiting all winter

When the villagers come to my door

I'll be all tucked away with my face to the floor and my eyes closed

And no one knows how to keep secrets 'round here, they tell everyone everything soon as they know

And then where is there left for poor sinners to go?

Waiting for the front door to splinter

Waiting all winter
