Cover art for Ontario lyrics by Mountain Goats, The

why has no one said anything about this song? its wonderful!

"I am learning to rise up with the sun And I am learning what sleep is good for" is probably my favorite line.

As for what the song is about...well all mountain goats songs are about failing love, and the narrator is obviously experiencing pain. i think maybe the orange tree blossoming might have something to do with the time he fell in love, and the orange tree blossoming reminds him of his old love.
