"Seed Song" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

The rain didn't come for one calendar year
So when the man with the sunflower seeds in his hand came here

[Refrain:]
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

[Refrain:]
We sent him away, we sent him away
We sent him away, we sent him away

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

[Outro:]
So am I, so am I
So am I, so am I
