The Decemberists - The Wanting Comes In Waves / Repaid lyrics

rate me

<BR>

<i>[Colin:]</i><br>

Mother I can hear your foot-fall now <br>

Soft disturbance in the dead-fall how <br>

It proceeds you like a black smoke pall <br>

Still the wanting comes in waves <br>

And you delivered me from danger then <br>

Pulled my cradle from the reedy glen <br>

Swore to save me from the world of men <br>

<br>

Still the wanting comes in waves <br>

In waves <br>

And waves <br>

And the wanting comes in waves <br>

And the wanting comes in waves <br>

<br>

And I want this night <br>

And I want this night <br>

Oh <br>

<br>

<i>[Shara:]</i><br>

How I made you <br>

I wrought you, I pulled you <br>

From war I labored you <br>

From cancer I cradled you <br>

And now <br>

<br>

This is how I am repaid <br>

This is how I am repaid <br>

<br>

Remember when I found you <br>

The miseries that hounded you <br>

And I gave you motion <br>

Anointed with lotions <br>

And now <br>

<br>

This is how I am repaid <br>

This is how I am repaid <br>

<br>

<i>[Colin:]</i><br>

Mother hear this proposition right <br>

Grant me freedom to enjoy this night <br>

And I'll return to you at break of light <br>

For the wanting comes in waves <br>

And waves <br>

And waves <br>

Still the wanting comes in waves <br>

Still the wanting comes in waves <br>

Still the wanting comes in waves <br>

And you owe me life <br>

And you owe me life <br>

<br>

<i>[Shara:]</i><br>

And if I grant you this favor to hand you <br>

Your life for the evening <br>

I will retake by morning <br>

And so <br>

Consider it your debt repaid <br>

Consider it your debt repaid <br>

Repaid <br>

Repaid<br>

<BR><BR>
