Mountain Goats, The - Seed Song Lyrics






The rain didn't come for one calendar year
So when the man with the sunflower seeds in his hand came here
We sent him away, we sent him away

The rain didn't come for twelve months more
So when the man with the seed catalogs darkened our door
We sent him away [4x]

And I know you're waiting for the ironic ending
And I know you're waiting for the punchline
And I know you're waiting for the rain to come by
So am I [4x]

Mountain Goats, The Seed Song Comments
  1. N.... ....

    My ex sent me this after we broke up. I'm still waiting for the ironic punchline.

    N.... ....

    I'm still waiting. If anybody is reading this, please don't send this song to your partner after a break up. This song still hurts more than any other song I've ever listened to.

  2. T.... B....

    What filthy animals gave this a thumbs down

  3. b.... ....

    I spent two years off the family farm working grounds maintenance at a university. I sang this song in the second summer. I came home one day to our wheat field on fire from a stray firework. I just wished for rain.

  4. s.... ....

    there used to be a comment on this song that just said "first one where I got it " and I miss seeing it

  5. s.... ....

    ...so am I.

  6. m.... ....

    atom version is way better to me.

  7. b.... ....

    @candlehoper I totally agree!! I love atom and his versions of this, going to georgia and alpha desperation march!

  8. x.... ....

    Ah, just what I needed to hear. Beautiful sounds. c:
