From my own true love (lost at sea)

The Decemberists

Four score years living down in this rain swept town.
Sea salt tears swimming round as the rain comes down.

The mariner's revenge song

The Decemberists
Música y Letra: Colin Meloy


We are two mariners,
our ships' sole survivors,
in this belly of a whale.

Its ribs are ceiling beams,
its guts are carpeting,
I guess we have some time to kill.
