“Bluejays and Cardinals” Songtext
von The Mountain Goats

bluejays and cardinals all come out to play
highway traffic gets out of your way
skies clear up if they′re overcast.
pit bulls are gentle when you come past.


stars come out of hiding for you
and i would too.
cause this world couldn't hold you
you slipped free
yeah this world couldn′t hold you
you slipped free
without me.


new sheen all over everything
when you open up your mouth to sing.
baseballs travel further when you watch them fly.
apples fatten on the trees when you walk by.
you bring something unreplaceble to each and every day.
or you used to anyway.
but this world couldn't hold you
and you slipped free
yeah this world couldn't hold you
and you slipped free
without me.
