The Sign Lyrics

[Intro: John Darnielle, spoken]
I never get tired of this one

[Verse 1]
I've got a new life
You would hardly recognize me
I'm so glad
How could a person like me care for you?
Why should I bother when you're not the one?

[Chorus 1: John Darnielle & Rachel Ware]
I saw the sign
And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign
Love is demanding without understanding
Yeah I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
And no one's gonna drag you up

[Verse 2: John Darnielle]
Under the pale moon
For so many years I've wondered who you are
How could a person like you bring me joy?
Under the pale moon where i see a lot of stars

[Chorus 2: John Darnielle & Rachel Ware]
I saw the sign
And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign
Love is demanding without understanding
Yeah I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
And no one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong

[Chorus 3: John Darnielle, (Rachel Ware)]
I saw the sign
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign)
And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign)
Love is demanding without understanding
Yeah I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
And no one's gonna drag you up
Hey!
