Earth Air Water Trees

John Darnielle

[Verse 1]
Through the shifting colors in the sky
I heard the wild geese call
And the light was bright and clear and cold
Over eastern Montreal

[Chorus 1]
And although, I know
You're only toying with me now
And although, I know
You hold your affection for me like a bone on a string

[Refrain]
I love you, I love you because
You gave me sausage and cheese when I was hungry

[Verse 2]
You hold your closed hand out to me
And you told me to guess what you had inside
And I had a thousand guesses and some of them were good
But I knew for some reason that I was losing my mind

[Chorus 2]
When the scent came rising
Through the spaces between your fingers
When the scent called to me
And I know we'd last at least until the end of December

[Refrain]
I love you, I love you because
You gave me sausage and cheese when I was hungry
