Till The Water's All Long Gone

The Decemberists
Album : What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World

They came down from the mound
They exchanged to on from the fountain
And all the while
All the while they longed for us
But I won't betray you
I won't betray you
I won't betray you
I won't
No I won't betray you
No I won't betray you
No I won't betray you
I won't
Till the water's all gone
And you, my sweet flower
And how you grew more sweet by the hour
And love was I
Love was I to lose you
My tender rose
My limber rose
My slender loving daughter
My tender rose
My limber rose
My slender loving daughter
Till the water's all gone
They came down from the mound
They exchanged to on from the fountain
Oh my girl, oh my love I've lost you
But I won't betray you
I won't betray you
I won't betray you
I won't
No I won't betray you
No I won't betray you
No I won't betray you
I won't
Till the water's all gone
