The Decemberists - Don't Carry It All Lyrics
Here we come to a turning of the seasonWitness to the arc towards the sunA neighbor's blessed burden within reasonBecomes a burden borne of all in oneAnd nobody, nobody knowsLet the yoke fall from our shoulders, Don't carry it all, don't carry it all We are all our hands and holdersBeneath this bold and brilliant sunAnd this I swear to all!A monument to build beneath the arborsUpon a plinth that towers t'wards the treesLet every vessel pitching hard to starboard Lay its head on summer's freckled kneesAnd nobody, nobody knowsLet the yoke fall from our shoulders, Don't carry it all, don't carry it all We are all our hands and holdersBeneath this bold and brilliant sunAnd this I swear to all!A there a wreath of trillium and ivyLaid upon the body of a boyLazy will the loam come from its hidingAnd return this quiet searcher to the soilSo raise a glass to turnings of the season And watch it as it arcs towards the sunAnd you must bear your neighbor's burden within reasonAnd your labors will be born when all is doneAnd nobody, nobody knowsLet the yoke fall from our shoulders, Don't carry it all, don't carry it all We are all our hands and holdersBeneath this bold and brilliant sunAnd this I swear to all!And this I swear to all!
