The Decemberists Follow

We'd come seven hours down
Took the blue line to see where we hopped out
And I was only joking and I was only joking
And I was only trying to get a laugh

You say this was the furthest that we had come
And traveled so far to watch it fall undone
And I had lost my token, you were looking bent and broken
Staring sideways with the rain coming down
But I am so enthralled

O New England
La da dum da
O New England
La da dum da

This here is the fable of a failed attempt
Fable, failed attempt now
Find new life in a love in the seat of its origin
Failed attempt now

From Long to Coney Island
From Mid to West to Upper Highland
And all I got is a silk full colored souvenir
The new millennium in New York

And all of New England
La da dum dum
O New England
La da dum dum

O New England in the face of your empire
I think I'd rather just wait in the car
And return to the turnpike watching New England skyline
Sinking below, sinking below

We'd come seven hours down
We'd come seven hours down
We'd come seven hours down, down
We'd come seven hours down

We'd come seven hours down
We'd come seven hours down
We'd come seven hours down, down
We'd come seven hours down
