decemberists, the

ramblin'

where to begin?

i tasted summer on your peppery skin

been saved

the warm of 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

summer arrives with a length of light

summer blows away

and quietly gets swallowed by a wave

it gets swallowed by a wave

waylaid

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

summer arrives with a length of light

summer blows away

and quietly gets swallowed by a wave

it gets swallowed by a wave.
