Wear Black Lyrics - Mountain Goats

Rain every day 

Fog all night 

Wind in the evergreen cypresses 

See me lord of wind and rain 

See me guardian of the underpassses 

Wear black when it's light outside 

Wear black when there's no light 

Wear black following the left hand path 

Wear black but I get right 

Waves at night 

Hard waves at dawn 

All this coast is vanishing 

Check me out, I can't blend in 

Check me out, I'm young and ravishing 

Wear black on your forgotten red heart 

Wear black in the present tense 

Wear black when you come around 

Wear black in your absence 

Wear black high as a kite (wear black) 

Wear black dead sober (wear black) 

Wear black when the struggle starts (wear black) 

Wear black when it's over (wear black) 

Sun through the trees 

Head for the sun 

Can't find the path back to the main raod 

See me lord of the Thomas Guide 

See me keeper of the source code 

Wear black to the intervention 

Wear black back to the car 

Wear black wherever I go 

Wear black wherever you are
