Till the Water's All Long Gone - The Decemberists

They came down from the mountain

They strained too long from the fountain

And all the while, all the while they longed for us But I won’t betray you, I won’t betray you

I won’t betray, I won’t

No, I won’t betray you, I won’t betray you

I won’t betray, I won’t

Till the water’s all long gone

And you, my sweet flower

And how you grew more sweet by the hour

And loath was I, loath was I to lose you

My tender rose, my limber rose

my slender rolling darling

My tender rose, my slender rose

My limber rolling darling

But the darling’s long, long gone

They came down from the mountain

They strained too long from the fountain

Oh my girl, oh my love, I’ve lost you

But I won’t betray you, I won’t betray you

I won’t betray, I won’t

No, I won’t betray you, I won’t betray you

I won’t betray, I won’t

Till the water’s all long gone
