Birthday Song: This Time Has Gone is an unreleased song by the Mountain Goats.
Lyrics[]
The sun came out this morning, I was wide awake I stumbled on down to the kitchen and I cut myself a piece of my birthday cake With raspberry filling in the middle I thought about you a little And there was a time when you wanted me so bad It was eating you up inside But this time has gone away I poured myself a tall glass of milk, it was deep and cold And I checked my driver's license, I was 28 years old And there was a time when you wanted me so bad It was eating you up inside But this time has gone away

- "This is one of those love songs. It's an older song, but it's never been recorded or anything...it doesn't have a good title; you can make up your own." -- 2000-10-19 - WFMU Session - WFMU Studios - Jersey City, NJ
