The Decemberists - The Queen's Rebuke / The Crossing lyrics

rate me

<BR>

The Queen<br>

I'm made of bones of the branches the boughs and the bough beating light <br>

Well my feet are the trunks, my head is the canopy <br>

And my fingers extend to the leaves in the eves <br>

<br>

And a bright, brighter shine <br>

It's my shine <br>

<br>

And he <br>

Was a baby abandoned <br>

Intombed in a cradle of clay <br>

And I was a soul who took pity and stole him away <br>

And gave him the form of a faun to inhabit <br>

<br>

And a day, brightest day <br>

It's my day <br>

<br>

And you <br>

Have removed this temptation that's troubled my innocent child <br>

To abduct and abuse <br>

And to render her rift and defiled <br>

But the river is deep to the base of the water <br>

<br>

And I <br>

I will fly you <br>

To the far side<br>

<BR><BR>
