The Mountain Goats — Hello Old Rabbit

I saw the long row of blue bells I saw the fox glove and the night shade I saw the cool garden and i though a while about How I'd been waiting for you since the second grade The flowers made the air boil The boiling air made me think of you a while I did not come here to suffer I did not come here to suffer I heard the ducks all quacking I saw the sunshine on the lake I saw you standing near the water And wondered how long I'd be paying for one dumb mistake The sight of you was really something else But I don't know what that something else was I did not come here to suffer I did not come here to suffer
