The Mountain Goats — Going to Lebanon

[Verse 1: John Darnielle] I saw your arms hanging at your side Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide Saw you moving, real slow Nowhere to run to, nowhere to go I heard the wind blow I saw your sash come untied Blue water, white sky [Verse 2] Up in the cedars we were too far away For the radio to tell us the time of day But there was moisture in the air And I heard the city call They could go on burning To hell with them all Your liquid movements The water rushing by Blue water, white sky [Verse 3] World's surface was as smooth as glass They saw the hour coming and they didn't let it pass I heard you say my name twice through your teeth I saw you coming down to me, I was underneath you It's been coming for some time You close your eyes Blue water, white sky [Outro] I heard the wind blow I saw your sash come untied Blue water, white sky
