The Decemberists - Down By The Water lyrics

rate me

See the ancient riverbed

See where all our follies are led

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

I was just some towhead teen

Feeling around for fingers to get in between

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

The season rubs me wrong

The summer swells anon

So knock me down, tear me up

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Sweet descend this rabble round

Pretty little patter of a seaport town

Rolling down the water and rolling down the old main drag

All dolled up in gabardine

The last flashing lee to appear nineteen

Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag

The season rubs me wrong

The summer swells anon

So knock me down, tear me up

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

The season rubs me wrong

The summers swells anon

So knock me down, tear me up

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Down by the water and down by the old main drag.<br />
