Divided Sky Lane by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Five years now since they dissolved our crew
Since the fence went up that I can't cut through
Grass grown high on the former site
Of the carefully tended garden we visited late at night

[Refrain]
See how the cracked moon climbs high
In the divided sky

[Verse 2]
Much blood shed in the phantom zone
I'm a civilian now, I can't go home
Sweep my front steps at dark each night
Tongue, swollen with prayer, stomach unbearably tight

[Refrain]
See how the cracked moon climbs high
In the divided sky

[Bridge]
Though the frost bites hard, I maintain my guard
Good spies grow old, they never come in from the cold
Full information blackout
From the field, for me, I know
I will some day learn how to let you go
[Verse 3]
Clench and unclench my fingers
Get it right some day
Find the place where the memories go dark
And they stay that way

[Refrain]
See how the cracked moon climbs high
In the divided sky
