The Mountain Goats * Track #3 On Isopanisad Radio Hour EP
Cobscook Bay Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We're alone most of the time these days
Jill used to come by, but she went away
And Gail used to come around and trash the joint
But she moved off to Dana Point
And you went along, just for the ride
And you both committed suicide
[Refrain]
And day is breaking over Cobscook Bay
And I've never seen anything like it in my life
[Verse 2]
Cow gave birth and her calves are snow white
They huddle up close together at night
And the mama cow leans down and cleans her young
Licking their faces with her tongue
And unmarked airplanes buzz the air
And you're falling off that cliff somewhere in California --
Which I've never seen
I put the pieces all together
But I don't know what they mean
[Refrain]
And day is breaking over Cobscook Bay
And I've never seen anything like it in my life
