Sourdoire Valley Song Lyrics - All Eternal's Deck - Mountain Goats

Bang the small rocks on the big ones 

Till the small ones are sharp and clean 

Catch something, kill something 

New blade cuts real keen 

And then the grass grows up to cover up the firepit and the forge 

Half a world away from the Olduvai Gorge 

Chew these roots for a toothache, 

Chew these ones for atmosphere 

Dream the pleasant dreams that people dream 

When they grow up down here 

And the the grass grows up to cover up the firepit and the forge 

Half a world away from the Olduvai Gorge 

Take care of the old man 

See if he's in pain 

Have somebody stay with him 

Comfort him when he complains 

Keep to ourselves mostly 

Few friends and fewer closer friends 

Lead a long life if you're lucky 

Hope it never ends 

And then the grass grows up to cover to cover up the firepit and the forge 

Half a world away from the Olduvai Gorge
