They're playing our song
They're playing our song
Can you see the light?
Can you hear the hum?

Of our song
I hope they get it right
I hope we dance tonight
Before we get it wrong

And the seasons
Will change us new, but you're the best I've known
And you know me, I could not not be stuck on you
If it weren't true

I was swimming
My eyes were dark 'til you woke me
And told me that opening is just the start
It was
Now I see you 'til kingdom come you're the one I want
To see me for all the stupid shit I've done

Soil and six feet under
Kept just like we were
Before you knew you'd know me
And you know me

Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds and a sound
Like whispering, "you know me
You know me"

So this was our song
This was our song
I still see the light
I can see them
And the criss cross
Of what is true won't get to us
'Cause you know me, I could not give up on you

And the fog of what is right
Won't cover us 'cause you know me
I could not give up a fight

Soil and six feet under (criss cross, of what is true won't get to us)
Kept just like we were ('cause you know me, I could not give up on you)
Before you knew you'd know me (wouldn't feel true)
And you know me
Blooming up from the ground (the fog of what is right won't cover us)
Three rounds and a sound ('cause you know me, I could not give up a fight)
Like whispering, "you know me (wouldn't feel right)
You knw me

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
