Mountain Goats, The - Elijah Lyrics
Streak the windows
Smear the walls with coconut oil, yeah
Fill the cast-iron kettle
With water and magnolia blossom
Let the water roll
Let the fire takes its toll
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Dust off the idols
Give them something to eat
I think they're hungry
I know I'm starving half to death
I know you're waiting
And I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Set the table
Those three extra places
One for me, one for your doubts
And one for God
Let the incense burn in every room
Feel the fullness of time in the empty tomb
Feel the future kicking in your womb
I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Feel the future kicking in your womb. I'm coming home. I'm coming home.
I was pregnant, unplanned, when I heard this song. I didn't know what was going to happen to me, and I was terrified that it wouldn't be good.
It all worked out in the end, but I still cry a little.
My boyfriend played this on guitar and sang it. right after he read our positive pregnancy test. Made me cry, I think maybe we will name the baby Elijah
Did you name the baby Elijah? Hope you your boyfriend and the baby are good. That's a beautiful little story
@jeanne spears Well, gues what, in a chain of events, now you made me cry :')
Best of luck and health to the baby, Elijah or no, and props to your boyfriend!
I love the way his voice cracks when he says "in every room".
i think he was making a connection between that line from Shadow Song and the line in here about "set the table, those three extra places- one for me, one for your doubts, one for God" though i could be wrong
thats my name
The hand gesture he's making means "die" in vulcan. Trekkies for the win!
He's more of a star wars fan and I have been a trekkie for years and never heard of a hand sign for death
@TJ4kicks Wrong song. You're looking for Shadow Song(s). There's a version up, but it's not the album cut.
If you make it there before me will you save me a seat?
Great song, great album, great photo.
Robles te quiero:3
