Sun Song

John Darnielle

[Verse 1]
The sun was a yellow eye in a blue face
When you came over to my place
And you said how things looked dead around here
Well, that's alright if things look dead around here
'Cause it's only a little while longer that things are gonna look dead around here

[Chorus]
And there are certain gardening skills
That you don't have yet
And there are certain gardening skills
That you'll never learn

[Post-Chorus]
How to leave alone what's doing fine
How to mulch what's dying on the vine
There are certain gardening secrets
You don't know

[Verse 2]
You said the soil looked nitrogen poor
Well, don't you worry about the soil looking nitrogen poor
I think that's my problem if the soil is nitrogen poor
But for myself it looks kind of nitrogen rich

[Chorus]
And there are certain gardening secrets
You don't have yet
And there are certain gardening skills
You'll never learn

[Post-Chorus]
How to leave alone what's doing fine
How to mulch what's dying on the vine
There are certain gardening secrets
You don't know
