Lyrics If You See Light - The Mountain Goats

If You See Light

When the villagers come to my door, I will hide underneath the table in the
dining room
Knees drawn to my chest
When the villagers come to my door, I will breathe shallow breaths from high up
in my stomach
I’ll ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Waiting for the front door to splinter
Waiting all winter
When the villagers come to my door
I’ll be all tucked away with my face to the floor and my eyes closed
And no one knows how to keep secrets 'round here, they tell everyone everything
soon as they know
And then where is there left for poor sinners to go?
Waiting for the front door to splinter
Waiting all winter
