the harrowed and the haunted

The Decemberists

Lay out the bowline
Tether and belay
Haul away
There is amber in the embers
There are riches on the ring
Will I be so brave?

We, beloved of the springtime
We were lions to the light
All the night
Will I always misremember
How we called our kisses bright?
Will I make this right?

This is what you wanted
I m harrowed and I m haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go until I arrive

So lay out the bowline
Feather and belay
You boys haul away
I will rove and I will ramble
Till my heart no longer craves
Our brazen days

This is what you wanted
I m harrowed and I m haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go until I arrive

This is what you wanted
I m harrowed and I m haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
