The Decemberists - The Wanting Comes in Waves/RepaidLyrics

[Colin] Mother I can hear your foot-fall now Soft disturbance in the dead-fall how It proceeds you like a black smoke pall Still the wanting comes in waves And you delivered me from danger then Pulled my cradle from the reedy glen Swore to save me from the world of men Still the wanting comes in waves In waves And waves And the wanting comes in waves And the wanting comes in waves And I want this night And I want this night Oh [Shara] How I made you I wrought you, I pulled you From war I labored you From cancer I cradled you And now This is how I am repaid This is how I am repaid Remember when I found you The miseries that hounded you And I gave you motion Anointed with lotions And now This is how I am repaid This is how I am repaid [Colin] Mother hear this proposition right Grant me freedom to enjoy this night And I'll return to you at break of light For the wanting comes in waves And waves And waves Still the wanting comes in waves Still the wanting comes in waves Still the wanting comes in waves And you owe me life And you owe me life [Shara] And if I grant you this favor to hand you Your life for the evening I will retake by morning And so Consider it your debt repaid Consider it your debt repaid Repaid Repaid
