Rise To Me - The Decemberists

Big mountain, wide river

There’s an ancient pull

These tree trunks, these stream beds

Leave our bellies full

They sing out:

I am going to stand my ground

You rise to me and I’ll blow you down

I am going to stand my ground

You rise to me and I’ll blow you down

Hey Henry can you hear me?

Let me see those eyes

This distance between us

Can seem a mountain size

But boy:

You are going to stand your ground

They rise to you, you blow them down

Let me see you stand your ground

If they rise to you, you blow them down

My darling, my sweetheart

I am in your sway

To cold climes comes springtime

So let me hear you say

My love:

I am going to stand my ground

They rise to me and I’ll blow them down

I am going to stand my ground

They rise to me and I’ll blow them down
