Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Sun Song

The sun was a yellow eye in a blue face

When you came over to my place

And you said how things looked dead around here

Well that's alright if things look dead around here

Cause it's only a little while longer that things are

gonna look dead around here

And there are certain gardening skills

That you don't have yet

And there are certain gardening skills

That you'll never learn

How to leave alone what's doing fine

How to mulch what's dying on the vine

There are certain gardening secrets

You don't know

You said the soil looked nitrogen poor

Well, don't you worry about the soil looking nitrogen

poor

I think that's my problem if the soil is nitrogen poor

But for myself it looks kind of nitrogen rich

And there are certain gardening secrets

You don't have yet

And there are certain gardening skills

You'll never learn

How to leave alone what's doing fine

How to mulch what's dying on the vine

There are certain gardening secrets

You don't know
