The Mountain Goats
Going to Spirit Lake
[Verse 1]
Why did you say what you said
When the hummingbird vanished from sight
In the sudden swelling heat of the dark October night?
You were laughing and your eyes were alive
And I knew that the moment had finally arrived
And I reached out through the air for your hand and held on tight
[Verse 2]
You said the right thing
You fixed everything
As the stars formed a canopy over Spirit Lake
You said what you said
And the stars grew softer overhead
I was on fire
I was on fire for you
