Songtexte: Mountain Goats, The. Going To Lebanon.

saw your arms hanging at your side

nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide

saw you moving real slow

nowhere to run to, nowhere to go

i heard the wind blow

i saw your sash come untied

blue water, white sky



up in the cedars, we were too far away

for the radio to tell us the time of day

but there was moisture in the air

i heard the city call

they can go on burning

to hell with them all

your liquid movements

the water rushing by

blue water, white sky



world's surface was as smooth as glass

and they saw the hour coming and they didn't let it pass

i heard you say my name twice through your teeth

i saw you coming down to me, i was underneath

it's been coming for some time

you close your eyes

blue water, white sky



i heard the wind blow

i saw your sash come untied

blue water, white sky
