The Mountain Goats: “1 John 4:16″
Filed under love
Can’t stop crying.
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 his 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.
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 his 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.
