The Decemberists - Lake Song Lyrics
[Verse:]Down by the lake we were over turning pebbles and dependingAll the animals aliveAnd I took a drive from your cigarette and I pinched it 'tween my finger and my thumbTo lit it dive, and the sun burned through, on the radioSay that you will, say you will although you won'tOr you whatever you prevaricate, we both I know that you...And this much I can say, would have waited till the oceansFell away and all the sunken cities would reveal themselves to youBut you won't, will you... Becuz you never doAnd the sunburn through, sweetest honey dew[Chorus:]And I, 17 and terminally vagueI wrote it down and threw it all awayNever gave a thought you and I madeAnd you sibylline, reclining in your cubeYou tattered me and tattered me withThe things you would, the things you wouldn't doTo tell the truth, I never had a clue[Verse 2:]Now we arise, the curse is young suburban villainsIn their I'll begotten children from the lawnCome to me now, and on the station wagon windowSet the ghost of your two footprintsThat they might haunt me when you're goneWhen the light bow dark, you were forever goneBut I remember you, you would fallOr you would feel as sweet as honey dew[Chorus:]And I, 17 and terminally vagueI wrote it down and threw it all awayNever gave a thought you and I madeAnd you sibylline, reclining in your cubeYou tattered me and tattered me withThe things you would, the things you wouldn't doYou noticed how I never had a clueNever had a clue...You felt as sweet as honey dew
