Mountain Goats, The - Bluejays And Cardinals Lyrics
Bluejays and cardinals all come out to play
The highway traffic gets out of your way
Skies clear up if they're overcast
Pit bulls are gentle when you come past
And I would too but this world couldn't hold you
You slipped free
Yeah, this world couldn't hold you
You slipped free
Without me
New sheen all over everything
When you open up your mouth to sing
Baseballs travel further when you watch them fly
You bring something unreplacable to each and every day
Or you used to, anyway
But this world couldn't hold you
And you slipped free
Yeah, this world couldn't hold you
And you slipped free
Without me

RIP Rozz.
I almost cried listening to this; it's unfair how relatable it is. People that magnificent should not be allowed to even exist.
beautiful song <3
Gosh, this song's so freaking sad. Glad someone finally uploaded it to Youtube.
You really get a sense of how much he adored this woman, moreso than you do from the song "Woke Up New", which is probably my favorite. This song is awesome, in a complimentary-sort of way to "Woke Up New."
Amazing, just amazing.
<3
Not sure if you were filled in, but it's not about a woman. It's about his friend Rozz Williams (the vocalist for Christian Death) who committed suicide.
@Reeve Garrett Glad you said it
