Lyrics

[00:01.73] The Decemberists - Don't Carry It All
[00:14.23] Here we come to a turning of the season
[00:19.30]
[00:20.86] Witness to the arc towards the sun
[00:25.80]
[00:27.61] A neighbor's blessed burden within reason
[00:32.92]
[00:34.36] Becomes a burden borne of all and one
[00:38.80]
[00:39.54] And nobody' nobody knows
[00:42.61] Let the yolk fall from our shoulders
[00:46.67]
[00:48.54] Don't carry it all' don't carry it all
[00:52.48]
[00:55.48] We are all our hands and holders
[01:00.11]
[01:00.67] Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
[01:05.79]
[01:06.74] And this I swear to all
[01:09.54]
[01:15.29] A monument to build beneath the arbors
[01:19.79]
[01:21.74] Upon a plinth that towers t'wards the trees
[01:26.48]
[01:27.98] Let every vessel pitching hard to starboard
[01:33.29]
[01:34.92] Lay its head on summer's freckled knees
[01:39.29]
[01:40.23] And nobody' nobody knows
[01:42.85] Let the yolk fall from our shoulders
[01:46.04]
[01:48.98] Don't carry it all' don't carry it all
[01:53.04]
[01:55.85] We are all our hands and holders
[01:59.85]
[02:00.98] Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
[02:05.61]
[02:07.27] And this I swear to all this I swear to all
[02:16.20]
[02:22.20] A there a wreath of trillium and ivy
[02:26.95]
[02:28.89] Laid upon the body of a boy
[02:34.57]
[02:35.51] Lazy will the loam come from its hiding
[02:40.21]
[02:42.10] And return this quiet searcher to the soil
[02:47.10]
[02:48.91] So raise a glass to turnings of the season
[02:55.48] And watch it as it arcs towards the sun
[03:00.17]
[03:01.60] And you must bear your neighbor's burden within reason
[03:08.79] And your labors will be born when all is done
[03:13.29]
[03:14.29] And nobody' nobody knows
[03:17.04] Let the yolk fall from our shoulders
[03:20.86]
[03:23.23] Don't carry it all' don't carry it all
[03:27.37]
[03:29.99] We are all our hands and holders
[03:34.26]
[03:35.07] Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
[03:40.07]
[03:41.44] And this I swear to all this I swear to all
[03:50.38]
[03:54.58] this I swear to all this I swear to all
[04:05.09]
[04:11.46]
