The Mountain Goats — The Sign

[Intro: John Darnielle, spoken] I never get tired of this one [Verse 1] I've got a new life You would hardly recognize me I'm so glad How could a person like me care for you? Why should I bother when you're not the one? [Chorus 1: John Darnielle & Rachel Ware] I saw the sign And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign Love is demanding without understanding Yeah I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign And no one's gonna drag you up [Verse 2: John Darnielle] Under the pale moon For so many years I've wondered who you are How could a person like you bring me joy? Under the pale moon where i see a lot of stars [Chorus 2: John Darnielle & Rachel Ware] I saw the sign And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign Love is demanding without understanding Yeah I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign And no one's gonna drag you up To get into the light where you belong [Chorus 3: John Darnielle, (Rachel Ware)] I saw the sign (I saw the sign, I saw the sign) And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign (I saw the sign, I saw the sign) Love is demanding without understanding Yeah I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign And no one's gonna drag you up Hey!
