Generate meaning
1
seeds came in the mail today from holland
2
and the language on the package was wonderful and strange
3
all sorts of flowers that grow up from the earth
4
in goodly colors gloriously arranged
5
i circled the house and i scattered them around
6
let the water sink down into the soil
7
stared a long time at the residue
8
blood, milk and oil
9
god the humidity is something
10
our shirts are soaked clean through
11
the house is throbbing and the heat keeps coming
12
and i keep looking at you
13
and then you're singing in dutch to me
14
and i recognize the song
15
it seems so old and so fragile
16
and i haven't heard it in so long
17
we may throw the windows open later
18
but we are not as far west as you suppose we are
19
hot wind coming off the water
20
the sky gone crazy with stars
21
while we stay here we imagine we're alive
22
we see shadows on the walls
23
there's something waiting for us in the hot, wet air
24
sweat, water and alcohol
25
just the old blood
26
rising up through the wooden floor again
27
just the old love
28
asking for more again
the mountain goats - no children
