Colin Meloy - The Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowned) lyrics

Margaret arrayed the rocks around the hull before it was sinking A million stones, a million bones, a million holes within the chinking And painting rings around your eyes these peppered holes so filled with crying A whisper weighed upon the tattered down where you and I were lying Tell me now, tell me this, A forest's son, a river's daughter A willow on the willow wisp, our ghosts will wander all of the water So let's be married here today these rushing waves to bear our witness And we will lie like river stones rolling only where it takes us But I pulled you and I called you here And I caught you and I brought you here These hazards of love, never more will trouble us Oh Margaret the lapping waves are licking quietly at our ankles Another bow another breath this brilliant chill's come for the shackle With this long last rush of air we speak our vows and sorry whispers When the waves came crashing down, he closed his eyes and softly kissed her But I pulled you and I called you here And I caught you and I brought you here These hazards of love, never more will trouble us And these hazards of love, never more will trouble us
