Down By The Water Lyrics - The King Is Dead - Decemberists

See this ancient riverbed 

See where all my folly's led 

Down by the water and down by the old main drag 

I was just some tow-head teen 

Feeling 'round for fingers to get in between 

Down by the water and down by the old main drag 

The season rubs me wrong 

The summer swells anon 

So knock me down, tear me up 

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup 

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Sweet descend this rabble 'round 

The pretty little patter of a seaport town 

Rolling in the water and rolling down the old main drag 

All dolled up in gabardine 

The lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen 

Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag 

The season rubs me wrong 

The summer swells anon 

So knock me down, tear me up 

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup 

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

The summer swells anon 

So knock me down, tear me up 

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup 

Down by the water and down by the old main drag 

Down by the water and down by the old main drag 

Down by the water and down by the old main drag
