The Decemberists - The Wrong Year lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Gray Jean was a river child

Born down by the river wild

Said hey, what ya wanna be?

Nobody's gonna intervene

(Chorus)

And she wants you but you won't do

And it won't leave you alone

And the rain falls on the wrong year

And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone

(Verse 2)

Could be that he's into you

Could be that the opposite's true

Struck down as a summer child

Ten steps just to run a mile

(Chorus)

And he wants you but you won't do

And it won't leave you alone

And the rain falls on the wrong year

And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone

(Bridge)

Your spirit's willing

Flesh is getting old

Speaker's blaring out some long forgotten chord

Some misbegotten long forgotten chord

(Verse 3)

Sing me some mandolin

And I'll sleep all the winter long

Till then I can only be, nobody's gonna intervene

(Chorus)

And she wants you but you won't do

And it won't leave you alone

And the rain falls on the wrong year

And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone
