Mountain Goats, The - Four New Trees Lyrics
The first new tree is tall and good.
It gives hard dark brown burning wood
When winter comes it stands right outside
With its blossom-laden arms spread wide.
And it took a long time to take root.
Sometimes we thought it had given up the spirit,
But now it makes me happy when i'm just standing near it.
The third new tree stands just west of the barn.
Its best branches grow thicker than my arm.
I will water him everyday.
And i will chase all the termites away.
But the fourth new tree is my enemy.
The fourth new tree
Sets its tendrils through the water mains and tries to poison me.
His leaves are thick, always falling, and pure

Mountain Goats, The Four New Trees Comments
wow thank u so much for uploading this album this is the only place i can find it
Why do the works of "John Darnielle" make me feel so good? Each song seems to encapsulate Joyful melancholy and the acceptance of human futility, yet I'm always glad to hear them, Every morning I wake up to the sound of "Weekend in Western Illinois" and as such, the world weary Jubilations of "The Mountain Goats" follows me all throughout my day. For the last 2-3 yearsI've essentially given up on all other music, and I feel alright.
