The Decemberists - Lake Song lyrics
Your rating:
[Verse:] Down by the lake we were over turning pebbles and depending All the animals alive And I took a drag from your cigarette and I pinched it 'tween my finger and my thumb To let it die, and the sun burned low, on the radio Say that you will, say you will or will you won't Or you whatever you prevaricate, your whole life don't you. And this much I can say, I would have waited till the oceans Fell away and all the sunken cities would reveal themselves to you But you won't, will you... Because you never do And the sun burned through, sweet as honey dew [Chorus:] And I, 17 and terminally vague I wrote it down and threw it all away Never gave a thought to what I made And you sibylline, reclining in your cube You tattered me and tethered me to you The things you would, the things you wouldn't do To tell the truth, I never had a clue [Verse 2:] Now we arise, the curse is young suburban villains In their ill-begotten children from the lawn Come to me now, and on the station wagon window Set the ghost of your two footprints That they might haunt me when you're gone When the light bow dawn, you were forever gone But I remember you, you were full you were full and sweet as honey dew [Chorus:] And I, 17 and terminally vague I wrote it down and threw it all away Never gave a thought to what I made And you sibylline, reclining in your cube You tattered me and tethered me to you, The things you would, the things you wouldn't do You noticed how I never had a clue Never had a clue... You were full and sweet as honey dew
