"The Harrowed And The Haunted" lyrics - THE DECEMBERISTS

Lay out the bowline
Tether and belay
Haul away
There is amber in the embers
There are riches on the reef
Will I be so brave?

We beloved are the springtime
We were lions to the light
All the night
Will I always mis-remember?
How we called our kisses bright
Will I make this right?

This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go till I arrive

So lay out the bowline
Feather and belay
You boys haul away
I will rove and I will ramble
Till my heart no longer craves
Our brazen day

This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light (By the light, by the light)
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time (from the time, from the time)
Still miles to go till I arrive

This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light (By the light, by the light)
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
