The Mountain Goats — Divided Sky Lane

[Verse 1] Five years now since they dissolved our crew Since the fence went up that I can't cut through Grass grown high on the former site Of the carefully tended garden we visited late at night [Refrain] See how the cracked moon climbs high In the divided sky [Verse 2] Much blood shed in the phantom zone I'm a civilian now, I can't go home Sweep my front steps at dark each night Tongue, swollen with prayer, stomach unbearably tight [Refrain] See how the cracked moon climbs high In the divided sky [Bridge] Though the frost bites hard, I maintain my guard Good spies grow old, they never come in from the cold Full information blackout From the field, for me, I know I will some day learn how to let you go [Verse 3] Clench and unclench my fingers Get it right some day Find the place where the memories go dark And they stay that way [Refrain] See how the cracked moon climbs high In the divided sky
