The Decemberists - Rise to Me lyrics

rate me

Big mountain, wide river,

There's an ancient pull,

These tree trunks, these stream beds,

Leave our bellies full.

They sing out,

I am gonna stand my ground,

Your eyes to me will blow you down,

I am gonna stand my ground,

Your eyes to me will blow you down.

Hey Henry, can you hear me,

Let me see those eyes,

This distance between us,

Can seem a mountain size.

But boy,

I am gonna stand your ground,

Their eyes to you, you blow them down,

Let me see you stand your ground,

Their eyes to you you blow them down.

My darling, my sweetheart,

I am in your sway,

Two coal lines come springtime,

So let me hear you say.

My love,

I am gonna stand my ground,

Their eyes to me will blow them down,

I am gonna stand my ground,

Their eyes to me will blow them down,

'cause I am gonna stand my ground,

Your eyes to me will blow you down.

<br />
