The Wrong Year - The Decemberists

Grey Jane was a river child

Born down by the river wild

Said, «Hey what I wanna be

Nobody’s gonna intervene»

And she wants you

But you won’t do

And it won’t leave you alone

And the rain falls

On the wrong year

And it won’t leave you alone

It won’t leave you alone

Could be that he’s into you

Could be that the obverse is true

Struck down as a summer child

Ten steps just to run a mile

And he wants you

But you won’t do

And it won’t leave you alone

And the rain falls

On the wrong year

And it won’t leave you alone

It won’t leave you alone

It won’t leave you alone

The spirit’s willing

(Ohhh)

The flesh is getting bored

(Ohhh)

The speaker’s blaring

Out some long-forgotten chord

Some misbegotten, long-forgotten chord

Sing me some Eidolon

And I’ll sleep all the winter long

Till then I can only be

Nobody’s gonna intervene

And she wants you

But you won’t do

And it won’t leave you alone

And the rain falls

On the wrong year

And it won’t leave you alone

It won’t leave you alone

It won’t leave you alone

It won’t leave you alone

(Ahha)
