The Decemberists – Summersong Lyrics

Rock

Ramblin', where to begin?
I taste the summer on your peppery skin
Been saved, the warmer the waves
I felt us slip into a watery grave, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
La-di-da-di-da
Oh-oh-oh

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, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
La-di-da-di-da
Oh-oh-oh

And summer arrives (pa-pa-pa-pa)
With a length of lights (pa-pa-pa-pa)
And summer blows away
And quietly, it 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, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
La-di-da-di-da
Oh-oh-oh

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, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
La-di-da-di-da
Oh-oh-oh

And summer arrives (pa-pa-pa-pa)
With a length of lights (pa-pa-pa-pa)
And summer blows away
And quietly, it gets swallowed by a wave

It gets swallowed by a wave
It gets swallowed by a wave
It gets swallowed by a wave
