"Hello, Old Rabbit" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

I saw the long row of blue bells
I saw the fox glove and the night shade
I saw the cool garden and I though a while about
How I'd been waiting for you since the second grade
The flowers made the air boil
The boiling air made me think of you a while
I did not come here to suffer
I did not come here to suffer

I heard the ducks all quacking
I saw the sunshine on the lake
I saw you standing near the water
And wondered how long I'd be paying for one dumb mistake
The sight of you was really something else
But I don't know what that something else was
I did not come here to suffer
I did not come here to suffer
