The Mountain Goats — Genesis 30:3 Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 1

[Verse 1] For several days the visitors were here We saw them turned down and we watched them disappear Talked about the days they’d said were sure to come Had a hard time believing I remember seeing you, my tongue struck dumb When you first came here from wherever it was you came from The power in your voice, your rough touch You keeping care of me, keeping watch [Chorus 1] Open up the doors to the tent Wonder where the good times went I will do what you ask me to do Because of how I feel about you [Verse 2] I saw his little face contract when his eyes met light You just try to imagine anything so bright You only get to see it once and then it steals into the dawn And then it’s gone forever For several hours we lay there, the last ones of our kind Harder days coming maybe, I don't mind It sounds kind of dumb when I say it, but it's true I would do anything for you [Chorus 2] Open up the promise of the day Let me drive the dark things away I will do what you ask me to do Because of how I feel about you
