[The Decemberists - The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid lyrics]
Mother, I can hear your footfall now
Soft disturbance in the dead fall, how
It precedes you like a black smoke pall
Still the wanting comes in waves
And you delivered me from danger then
Tore my cradle from the reedy glen
Swore to save me from the world of men
Still the wanting comes in waves, in waves
And waves
And the wanting comes in waves
And the wanting comes in waves
And I want this night and I want this night
How I made you i wrought you, I pulled you
From ore I labored you
From cancer I cradled you
And now, this is how I am repaid?
This is how I am repaid?
Remember when I found you?
The miseries that hounded you?
And I gave you motion anointed with lotions
And now, this is how I am repaid?
This is how I am repaid?
Mother hear this proposition right
Grant me freedom to enjoy this night
And I'll return to you at break of light
For the wanting comes in waves, and waves
And waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
And you owe me life, and you owe me life, oh
And if I grant you this favor to hand you
Your life for the evening
I will retake by morning
And so consider it your debt repaid
Consider it your debt repaid, repaid, repaid
Soft disturbance in the dead fall, how
It precedes you like a black smoke pall
Still the wanting comes in waves
And you delivered me from danger then
Tore my cradle from the reedy glen
Swore to save me from the world of men
Still the wanting comes in waves, in waves
And waves
And the wanting comes in waves
And the wanting comes in waves
And I want this night and I want this night
How I made you i wrought you, I pulled you
From ore I labored you
From cancer I cradled you
And now, this is how I am repaid?
This is how I am repaid?
Remember when I found you?
The miseries that hounded you?
And I gave you motion anointed with lotions
And now, this is how I am repaid?
This is how I am repaid?
Mother hear this proposition right
Grant me freedom to enjoy this night
And I'll return to you at break of light
For the wanting comes in waves, and waves
And waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
And you owe me life, and you owe me life, oh
And if I grant you this favor to hand you
Your life for the evening
I will retake by morning
And so consider it your debt repaid
Consider it your debt repaid, repaid, repaid
