Текст песни Decemberists - Annan Water

annan water 
you loom so deep and wide 
I'll cross over 
if you would stem the tide 
build a boat 
that I might ? the other side 
to reach the farther shore 
where my true love lies in wait for me 
in wait for me 
in wait for me 
in wait for me 

Oh, gray river 
your waters ramble while 
the horses shiver 
and bide against the bridal 
but I will cross 
if mine own horse is pulled from me 
though my mother cries that if I try 
I sure will drown it be 
Will drown it be 
will drown it be 
will drown it be 

but if you cull 
and let me pass 
you may render me a wreck 
when I come back 
so calm your waves 
and slow the churn 
and you may have my precious bones on my return 

annan water 
oh hear my true love's call 
hear her holler 
above your water's pall 
god, that I could 
that my two arms could give me way 
and I would cross your breath 
and rest my breast about her amber ring 
her amber ring 
her amber ring 

But if you cull 
and let me pass 
you may render me a wreck 
when I come back 
so calm your waves 
and slow the churn 
and you may have my precious bones 
on my 
on my 
Return
