Summersong - The Decemberists

Written by：Colin Meloy

Ramblin'

Where to begin

I taste the summer on your peppery skin

Been saved

The warm of the waves

I felt a slip into a watery grave

Oh oh

Oh hoh hoh hoh

Lah di dah di dah

Ah hoh hoh oho

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 hoh hoh hoh

Lah di dah di dah

Ah hoh hoh oho

And summer arrives

With a length of lights

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 hoh hoh hoh

Lah di dah di dah

Ah hoh hoh oho

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 hoh hoh hoh

Lah di dah di dah

Ah hoh hoh oho

And summer arrives

With a length of lights

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
