Mountain Goats, The - Pale Green Things Lyrics
Got up before dawn
Went down to the racetrack
Riding with the windows down
Shortly after your first heart attack
Cracking asphalt underfoot
Coming up through the cracks
Pale green things, pale green things
We watched the horses run their workouts
You held your stopwatch in your left hand
And a racing form beneath your arm
Casting your gaze way out to no man's land
Sometimes I'll meet you out there
Flicking my tongue out at the wet leaves
Pale green things, pale green things
My sister called at 3 AM
Just last December
She told me how you'd died at last, at last
And that morning at the racetrack was one thing I remembered
I turned it over in my mind
Like a living Chinese finger trap
Seaweed and Indiana saw grass
Pale green things, pale green things

My dying mother in law just said she liked the color pale green and it reminded me of this song
i lost my dad 2 years ago after a sudden heart attack, and this song really brings a sense of bittersweet peace. its the little things you remember about someone you love and lost.

My favorite song from my favorite artist. Stunning and emotional.
This kicked me square in the chest. This album deserves so much love.
It's so beautiful. All of it.
Got up before dawn
Went down to the racetrack
Riding with the windows down
Shortly after your first heart attack
You parked behind the paddock
Cracking asphalt underfoot
Coming up through the cracks
Pale green things, pale green things
We watched the horses run their workouts
You held your stopwatch in your left hand
And a racing form beneath your arm
Casting your gaze way out to no man's land
Sometimes I'll meet you out there
Lonely and frightened
Flicking my tongue out at the wet leaves
Pale green things, pale green things
My sister called at 3 AM
Just last December
She told me how you'd died at last, at last
And that morning at the racetrack was one thing I remembered
I turned it over in my mind
Like a living Chinese finger trap
Seaweed and Indiana saw grass
Pale green things, pale green things
perfect end to an album
