Why Would I Now? Lyrics - Florasongs - Decemberists

Have I ever lost your way? 

Have I ever left you waylaid? 

Have I ever come unstayed? 

Why would I now? 

There were times I loathed your name 

There were times I laid on the blame 

There were times I brought on shame 

But why would I now? 

For I will never be your familiar soul 

And I will never see your imperial hold 

But have I ever stood back 

And watched you fall? 

Or ditched your call? 

Or caught you bent around? 

Why would I now? 

Have I ever steered you wrong? 

Have I ever strung you along? 

Have I ever kept you long? 

Why would I now? 

There were times I broke through the walls 

There were times I broke through it all 

There were times it felt so hard 

But why would I now? 

For I will never be your familiar soul 

And I will never see your imperial hold 

But have I ever stood back 

And watched you fall? 

Or ditched your call? 

Or caught you bent around? 

Why would I now? 

Though the years they may up-raid you 

How it all nearly unmade you, laying down 

Why would it now? 

Remember when it all went dark 

Remember went it first rent apart 

Remember how I held my mark 

So why wouldn't I now? 

For I will never be your familiar soul 

And I will never see your imperial hold 

But have I ever stood back 

And watched you fall? 

Or ditched your call? 

Or caught you bent around? 

Why would I now?
