The Decemberists - Till The Water Is All Long Gone lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

They came down from the mountains

They strained too long from the fountain

And all the while

All the while they longed for us

But I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't

No, I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't

Till the water's all long gone

(Verse)

And you, my sweet flower

And how you proved more sweet by the hour

And loath those eyes, loath those eyes

To lose you

My tender rose, my slender rose, my darling

My tender rose, my slender rose, my ? darling

But my darlin's long long long...

(Chorus)

They came down from the mountains

They strained too long from the fountain

Oh my girl, oh my love, I've lost you

But I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't

No, I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't

Till the water's all long gone
