Summersong Lyrics - The Crane Wife - Decemberists

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 

My girl, linen and curls 

Lips parting like a flag will unfurl 

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 will unfurl 

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
