The Decemberists - Cavalry Captain lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

I am the cavalry captain, I am the remedy to your heart

I am the common collector, I am imprinted upon your skies

(Verse)

And when you shine, shine your eyes, looking lost, looking bright

We're away on a light brigade and it's only for a second

And if only for a time, and if only for a second

And if only for a time we'll be alive

We'll be alive, oh oh oh oh oh

(Chorus)

I am the cavalry captain, I am the remedy to your heart

I am the common collector, I am imprinted upon your skies

(Verse 2)

There is a world, there is a time, lookin' calm, lookin' kind

We'll all wait at the end of day and it's only for a second

And if only for a time, and if only for a second

And if only for a time we'll be alive

We'll be alive, oh oh oh oh oh

(Chorus)

I am the cavalry captain, I am the remedy to your heart

I am the common collector, I am imprinted upon your skies
