Decemberists Summersong Lyrics

Summersong Lyrics

Ramblin', where to begin

I taste the summer on your peppery skin

Been saved the warmer the waves

I felt a slip into a watery grave



My girl, linen and curls

Lips parting like a flag all unfurled

She's grand, the bend of her hand

Digging deep into the sweep of the sand



And summer arrives with a length of lights

And summer blows away

And quietly gets swallowed by a wave

It gets swallowed by a wave



Waylay, the din of the day

Boats bobbing in the blue of the bay

In deep far beneath

All the dead sailors slowly slipping to sleep



My girl, linen and curls

Lips parting like a flag all unfurled

She's grand, the bend of her hand

Digging deep into the sweep of the sand



And summer arrives with a length of lights

And summer blows away

And quietly gets swallowed by a wave

It gets swallowed by a wave

It gets swallowed by a wave

It gets swallowed by a wave
