Dear Avery Lyrics - The King Is Dead - Decemberists

Dear Avery 

I think of you only 

Were you waving 

Were you dead on the vine? 

Oh Avery 

To think of you lonely 

Would I could just grab you 

By the nape of your neck 

There are times life will rattle your bones 

And will bend your limbs 

But you're still far and away the boy you've ever been 

So you bend back and shake at the frame 

Of the frame you made 

(But don't you shake alone) 

Please, Avery, come home

Head strong 

You and your long arms 

Listing lazily 

On the cusp of your teens 

But you were my Avery 

And when you needed saving 

I could just grab you 

By the nape of your neck

There are times life will rattle your bones 

And will bend your limbs 

But you're still far and away the boy you've ever been 

So you bend back and shake at the frame 

Of the frame you made 

(But don't you shake alone) 

Please, Avery, come home
