Song | A Record Year For Rainfall |
Artist | The Decemberists |
Album | Always The Bridesmaid: Vol 3 |
I read in the paper today | |
It’s been a record year for rainfall | |
And you were leaning ‘gainst the bathroom wall | |
In your lonely dress | |
Was your only dress | |
Stand accusing across | |
I got a temper set for tinder | |
And you were shrugging it off like a feather | |
Saying, “Oh | |
Would you look at this weather?” | |
What’s the use of all of this? | |
It’s to remember you in the entire | |
Cause I’m watching it slip away | |
And in the annals of the empire | |
Did it look this grey | |
Before the fall? | |
Before the fall | |
So rake your thumbnail across | |
The stretch of the patina | |
Revealing a Proserpina | |
In a low recline | |
In a steep decline | |
What’s the use of all of this? | |
It’s to remember you in the entire | |
Cause I’m watching it slip away | |
And in the annals of the empire | |
Did it look this grey | |
Does it look so grey | |
Does it always look so grey | |
Before the fall? | |
Before the fall |
I read in the paper today | |
It' s been a record year for rainfall | |
And you were leaning ' gainst the bathroom wall | |
In your lonely dress | |
Was your only dress | |
Stand accusing across | |
I got a temper set for tinder | |
And you were shrugging it off like a feather | |
Saying, " Oh | |
Would you look at this weather?" | |
What' s the use of all of this? | |
It' s to remember you in the entire | |
Cause I' m watching it slip away | |
And in the annals of the empire | |
Did it look this grey | |
Before the fall? | |
Before the fall | |
So rake your thumbnail across | |
The stretch of the patina | |
Revealing a Proserpina | |
In a low recline | |
In a steep decline | |
What' s the use of all of this? | |
It' s to remember you in the entire | |
Cause I' m watching it slip away | |
And in the annals of the empire | |
Did it look this grey | |
Does it look so grey | |
Does it always look so grey | |
Before the fall? | |
Before the fall |
