    LYRICS
    You are sleeping off your demons
    When I come home
    Spittle bubbling on your lips
    Fine white foam
    I am young and I am good
    It's a hot southern California day
    If I wake you up, there will be hell to pay
    And alone in my room
    I am the last of a lost civilization
    And I vanish into the dark
    And rise above my station
    Rise, rise above my station
    But I do wake you up, and when I do
    You blaze down the hall and you scream
    I'm in my room with the headphones on
    Deep in the dream chamber
    And then I'm awake and I'm guarding my face
    Hoping you don't break my stereo
    Because it's the one thing that I couldn't live without
    And so I think about that and then I sorta blackout
    Held under these smothering waves
    By your strong and thick veined hand
    But one of these days, I'm going to wriggle up on dry land

    Greatest song he ever wrote, and possibly one of the greatest songs of all time.

    I just woke up from a dream where my dad and I were screaming at each other for what felt like hours. He passed away 15 years ago but that felt crystal clear and I kinda needed this song again today

    At the end of last year my mum, little brother and I left our abusive husband/father to make our way on our own. It’s been really tough at times but even through all the difficulties we have been so much better off without him. The Sunset Tree has been my soundtrack throughout this long and hard journey and I am so grateful to John for making this beautiful music that means so much to me and many others. I live in Australia and am waiting so desperately for the day you come back and tour here; in my dreams I am standing in a crowd singing along to mountain goats songs and it is beautiful and healing.

      I’m very lucky to live in the US where they tour often-going to see them live always feels like coming home in the best of ways. I hope you can see them live again one day, and that it feels like coming home for you too.

      I'm also in Australia and am patiently waiting for the day I get to sing along to The Sunset Tree in person. It's a very special album for me also!

    I saw you guys in Pittsburgh and you called an audible and played this song. I appreciated that and it was a fantastic show.

    Love when the drums kick in hard at the end. Amazing musical moment of catharsis and triumph

    One of the only songs that makes me cry whenever I hear it. There is so much pain and determination in it.
