The Wanting Comes In Waves Lyrics - The Hazards Of Love - Decemberists

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: 

Photos 

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
