This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
God gave you red light
On every green road sign
When you left Santa Fe.
We were two string beans
And you were too 19
To be blowing away
There were thieves in the square
Hiding hands and hiding prayers
And all their mumbling
Now they left you alone
Tangled heels and tiny veery oh's
Singing something
Stuck with open curls
Your mama was scared of the world,
It was born with a bang
I was stepping on sea shells
By the old Mission San Miguel
When a bell tower rang
And the sky fell apart
Heard the rain, I heard your heart
And what was spoken.
Cause nothing bends for a name
Nothing wants to stay the same
And nothing's broken
When your friends and their friends
Pass the pipe or tie the knot
Honeymoon music played
In the drive-thru parking lot
I woke up by your bed
You were wandering around the yard
Window wide as a day
But the sun just hit too hard
In a home void of doors
Mama's house slowed a little more
In the evening.
Naked boys throwing stones
Beady eyes and desert bones
They saw you leaving.
God gave you bobwhites
And the good kind of black night
When you left Santa Fe
New Mexico's no breeze
And you were so 19
You were blowing away
On every green road sign
When you left Santa Fe.
We were two string beans
And you were too 19
To be blowing away
There were thieves in the square
Hiding hands and hiding prayers
And all their mumbling
Now they left you alone
Tangled heels and tiny veery oh's
Singing something
Stuck with open curls
Your mama was scared of the world,
It was born with a bang
I was stepping on sea shells
By the old Mission San Miguel
When a bell tower rang
And the sky fell apart
Heard the rain, I heard your heart
And what was spoken.
Cause nothing bends for a name
Nothing wants to stay the same
And nothing's broken
When your friends and their friends
Pass the pipe or tie the knot
Honeymoon music played
In the drive-thru parking lot
I woke up by your bed
You were wandering around the yard
Window wide as a day
But the sun just hit too hard
In a home void of doors
Mama's house slowed a little more
In the evening.
Naked boys throwing stones
Beady eyes and desert bones
They saw you leaving.
God gave you bobwhites
And the good kind of black night
When you left Santa Fe
New Mexico's no breeze
And you were so 19
You were blowing away

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
