Moon Over Goldsboro - The Mountain Goats[00:00:00]
Written by:John Darnielle[00:00:02]
I went down to the gas station[00:00:16]
For no particular reason[00:00:20]
Heard the screams from the high school[00:00:23]
It's football season[00:00:27]
Empty lot the station faces[00:00:46]
Will probably be there forever[00:00:49]
I climbed over the four foot fence[00:00:54]
I was trying to sever the tether[00:00:57]
Moon in the sky[00:00:59]
Cold as a stone[00:01:05]
Spend each night[00:01:07]
In your arms[00:01:09]
Always wake up alone[00:01:12]
I laid down in the weeds[00:01:31]
It was a real cold night[00:01:35]
I was happy till the overnight attendant[00:01:38]
Switched on the floodlight[00:01:43]
Walking home[00:02:00]
I was talking to you under my breath[00:02:01]
Saying things I would never say directly[00:02:04]
I heard a siren on the highway up ahead[00:02:09]
Kinda wished they'd come and get me[00:02:13]
Frost on the sidewalk[00:02:15]
White as a bone[00:02:21]
Tried to get close to you again[00:02:25]
Always wake up alone[00:02:28]
And as I was crossing our doorstep[00:02:31]
I hesitated[00:02:38]
Just a moment there[00:02:41]
Remembered the day[00:02:47]
We moved into our small house[00:02:50]
'Till the vision[00:02:54]
Got too vivid[00:02:55]
To bear[00:02:57]
You were almost asleep[00:03:17]
Halfway undressed[00:03:21]
I lay right down next to you[00:03:25]
Held your head against my chest[00:03:28]
And a guy with any kind of courage[00:03:47]
Would maybe stop to think the matter through[00:03:50]
Maybe hold you still and raise the question[00:03:54]
Instead of blindly holding onto you[00:03:58]
But we crank up the heat[00:04:01]
And you giggle and moan[00:04:06]
Spend all night[00:04:08]
In the company of ghosts[00:04:10]
Aways wake up alone[00:04:14]
