The Decemberists - Don't Carry It All

The Decemberists - Don't Carry It All

Here we come to a turning of the season
Witness to the art towards the sun
The neighbor´s blessed burden within reason
Becomes a burden born with all in one

And nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all, don´t carry it all
We are all our hands and holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
And this I swear to all

Monument to build beneath the arbors
Pond to glint the towers toward the trees
But every vessel pitching hard to starboard
Lay its head on summer´s freckled knees

But nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all, don´t carry it all
We are all our hands and holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
This I swear to all
And this I swear to all

Wreathed the trillium and ivy
Laid upon the body of a boy
Lazy will the love come from its hiding
Return this quiet searcher to the soil

So raise a glass to turnings of the season
Watch it as it arcs towards the sun
And you must your neighbour´s burden within reason
And your labors will be borne when all is done

And nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all, don´t carry it all
We are all our hands and holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
And this I swear to all
