The Decemberists

Como me gustan The Deceberists, please escuchen esta cancion y saquenle la onda a la letra. Habla del verano, me encanta la imagen de la mano enterrandose en la arena. Tambien la imagen de los botes flotando en la bahia azul y por debajo los marineros muertos duemiendose...y es verdad se pasa tan rapido el verano que es como si se lo tragara una ola....

Listen to this song please! I love the lyrics and how well they describe summer feellings, the music so much complements  the words. I love this band! This song is from the album 'My Crane Wife'.

"Summersong"

Ramblin' where to begin
I taste the summer on your peppery skin
Been saved the warmer 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 lights
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 all unfurled
She's grand the bend of her hand
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand

Summer arrives with a length of lights
Summer blows away
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
It gets swallowed by a wave...
