Mountain Goats Follow

For several days the visitors were here
We saw them turned down and we watched them disappear
Talked about the days that ? was sure to come
Had a hard time believing

I remember seeing you my tongue struck done
When you first came here from wherever it was you came from
The power in your voice
Your rough touch
You keeping care of me
Keeping watch

Open up the doors to the tent
Wonder where the good times went
I will do what you ask me to do
Because of how I feel about you

? little face contracted as his eyes met light
Try to imagine anything so bright
You only see it once then it seals into the dawn
And then it's gone forever

For several hours we laid there last ones of our kind
Harder days coming maybe
I don't mind
Sounds kind of dumb when I see it but it's true
I would do anything for you

Open up the promise of the day
Drive the dark things away
I will do what you ask me to do
Because of how I feel about you
