A Beginning Song - The Decemberists

Let’s commence to coordinate our sights

get them square to rights

get them square to rights

condescend to calm this riot in your mind

find yourself in time

find yourself in time

and i am waiting, should i be waiting?

and i am wanting, should be wanting?

when all around me, when all around me document the world inside your skin

the tenor of your shins

the timbre of your limbs

now commence

to kick each brick apart

to center on your heart

starting with your heart, bright heart.

and i am waiting, should i be waiting?

and i am wanting, should i be wanting?

when all around me, when all around me when all around me, when all around me when all around me.

and i am waiting, should i be waiting?

and i am wanting, should i be wanting?

and i am hopeful, should i be hopeful?

when all around me, when all around me.

is the sunlight

is the shadows

is the quiet

is the work

is the beating heart

is the ocean

is the boys

is you,

my sweet love

my sweet love

o my love

and the light bright light

and the light bright light

bright light

bright light

it’s all around me it’s all around me Its all around around me.

It’s all around me All around me
