softer than a shower ...

that's me ... ! ;oD]
and this is my favourite track from the latest album by
The Decemberists,
for the imagery, beauty and pure, simple, gentle tenderness ...

"The Hazards Of Love 2 (Wager All)" from
'The Hazards Of Love' by The Decemberists

"... William:

And here I am, softer than a shower
And here I am, to garland you with flowers
To lay you down in a clover bed
The stars a roof above our heads

And all my life, I've never felt the tremor
And all my life, that now disturbs my fingers
I'll lay you down in a clover bed
The stars, a roof above our heads

And we'll lie until the Corn Crake crows
Bereft of the weight of our summer clothes
And I'd wager all
The hazards of love
The hazards of love

And take my hand, and cradle it in your hand
And take my hand, to feel the pull of quicksand
I'll lay you down in a clover bed
The stars, a roof above our heads

And we'll lie until the Corn Crake crows
Bereft of the weight of our summer clothes
And I'd wager all
The hazards of love
The hazards of love
The hazards of love
The hazards of
Love ..."
