The Mountain Goats — Sun Song

[Verse 1] The sun was a yellow eye in a blue face When you came over to my place And you said how things looked dead around here Well that's alright if things look dead around here Cause it's only a little while longer that things are gonna look dead around here [Chorus] And there are certain gardening skills That you don't have yet And there are certain gardening skills That you'll never learn [Post-Chorus] How to leave alone what's doing fine How to mulch what's dying on the vine There are certain gardening secrets You don't know [Verse 2] You said the soil looked nitrogen poor Well, don't you worry about the soil looking nitrogen poor I think that's my problem if the soil is nitrogen poor But for myself it looks kind of nitrogen rich [Chorus] And there are certain gardening secrets You don't have yet And there are certain gardening skills You'll never learn [Post-Chorus] How to leave alone what's doing fine How to mulch what's dying on the vine There are certain gardening secrets You don't know
