Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Island Garden Song

I will sail to the far shore

And I will chop a hole in the hull too big to repair

And I will turn the soil with my hands

And I will make my home there

My garden will grow so high

My garden will grow so high

That I will be completely hidden

I will go where I will go

And I will jettison all dead weight

And I will use these words for kindling

And I will sleep by the garden gate

My garden will grow so high

My garden will grow so high

That I will be completely hidden
