The Decemberists - A Cautionary Song

There's a place your mother goes when everybody else is soundly sleeping
Through the lights of beacon street
And if you listen you can hear her weeping,

The Decemberists - Angel Wont You Call Me?

Angel, won't you call me?
Could I be the only
though I am a lost cause,

The Decemberists - As I Rise

I have come a few miles.
I got blisters on my slippered feet
As I rise, as I ri-ise.

The Decemberists - Billy Liar

Billy Liar's got his hands in his pockets
Staring over at the neighbor's, knickers down.
He's got his knickers down.

The Decemberists - California One Youth And Beauty Brigade

Take a long drive with me
On California one, California one
Take a long drive with me

The Decemberists - Clementine

You slept in your overalls
After the wrecking ball
Bereft you of house and home

The Decemberists - Cocoon

This cocoon, caught in vesuvius' shadow
Only the ashes remain
And I waited there for you

The Decemberists - Eli The Barrow Boy

Eli, the barrowboy, you're the old town
Sells coal and marigolds and he cries out all down the day
Below the tamarac she is crying

The Decemberists - From My Own True Love (lost At Sea)

Four score years
Living down in this rain swept town
Sea salt tears

The Decemberists - Grace Cathedral Hill

Grace Cathedral hill
All wrapped in bones of setting sun
All dust and stone and moribund

The Decemberists - Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect

And here I dreamt I was a soldier
And I marched the streets of birkenau
And I recall in spring

The Decemberists - I Dont Mind

Truly, with his thorn in your side
and you don't know why
Julie dips her toe in the tide
