The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love 4 (The Drowned) lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Margaret arrayed the rocks around the hull before it was sinking, <br>

A million stones, a million bones, a million holes within the chinking. <br>

<br>

And painting rings around your eyes these peppered holes so filled with crying. <br>

A whisper weighed upon the tattered down where you and I were lying. <br>

<br>

Tell me now, tell me this, A forest's son, a river's daughter, <br>

A willow on the willow wisp, our ghosts will wander all of the water. <br>

<br>

So let's be married here today these rushing waves to bare our witness, <br>

And we will lye like river stones rolling only where it takes us. <br>

<br>

But I pulled you and I called you here, <br>

And I caught you and I brought you here <br>

These hazards of love, never more will trouble us. <br>

<br>

Oh Margaret the lapping waves are licking quietly at our ankles <br>

Another bow another breath this brilliant chill's come for the shackle. <br>

<br>

With this long last rush of air we speak our vows and sorry whispers, <br>

When the waves came crashing down, he closed his eyes and softly kissed her. <br>

<br>

But I pulled you and I called you here, <br>

And I caught you and I brought you here <br>

These hazards of love, never more will trouble us. <br>

And these hazards of love, never more will trouble us.<br>

<BR><BR>
