The Hazards of Love, Part II (Wager All) - The Decemberists

This is one of my most favorite Decemberists songs. It is from their newest album, but they've stayed true to their very unique and enchanting style even after being signed to a major record label. Both their vocal and instrumental styles are chock full of soul and emotion; beautiful and almost haunting at times. This song in particular exemplifies the Decemberists' magic.

So, without further ado, here are the lyrics (which means you should go check out the song, hint hint.)

And here I am
Softer than a shower
And here I am
To garland you with flowers

I’ll lay you down in clover bed
The stars, a roof above our heads

And all my life
I’ve never felt the tremor
And all my life
That now disturbs my fingers

I’ll lay you down in clover bed
The stars, a roof above our heads
And we’ll lie 'til the corncrake crows
Bereft the weight of our summer clothes

And I’ll wager all
The Hazards of Love
The Hazards of Love

And take my hand
And cradle it in your hand
And take my hand
To feel the pull of quicksand

I’ll lay you down in clover bed
The stars, a roof above our heads
And we’ll lie 'til the corncrake crows
Bereft the weight of our summer clothes

And I’ll wager all
The Hazards of Love
The Hazards of Love
