Genesis 30:3 - The Mountain Goats

For several days the visitors were here

We saw them turned down and we watched them disappear

Talked about the days they’d said were sure to come

Had a hard time believing

I remember seeing you, my tongue struck dumb

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

I saw his little face contract as his eyes met light

Tried to imagine anything so bright

You only see it once and then it steals into the dawn

And then it’s gone forever

For several hours we lay there, last ones of our kind

Harder days coming, maybe I don’t mind

Sounds kind of dumb when I say 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
