"Are You Cleaning Off The Stone?" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"Are You Cleaning Off The Stone?"

I'd like to begin by saying that I saw you coming
But that would be a lie
I'd like to say that I can hear your voice
But I couldn't mean 'hear' in the accepted sense of the word

[Refrain:]
Are you cleaning off the stone?
That's a sweet thing to do
Are you cleaning off the stone?
That's sweet of you

They tell me your hair's gotten much, much longer
I bet it looks nice
They tell me your eyes are the same color as they always were
That kind of information just floors me

[Refrain:]
Are you cleaning off the stone?
That's a sweet thing to do
Are you cleaning off the stone?
That's sweet of you
Are you cleaning off the stone?
That's a sweet thing to do
Are you cleaning off the stone?
That's sweet of you
