I see a face when I'm dreamin' at night, beckoning me with screamin' eyes
I feel a presence everywhere,I catch a glimpse but then there's no one there
I see a dark light that I've seen before, a wishful sight and an open door, a wishful sight and a dream no more
She caught my eye from across the room, winked at me not a moment too soon
My friend was talking to me of Death, before I took another breath
I saw a dark light that I've seen before, a wishful sight and an open door, a wishful sight and a dream no more
I played the game like I didn't care, she talked to me with the skin in her hair
The message sent that she carried inside, a pretty face and then the sailor dies

The Decemberists - Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)

- non si tratta di un video ufficiale ma di una produzione amatoriale
il brano è quello originale, ma attori e regista non hanno nulla a che fare con il gruppo-

Soldier: Heart carved tree trunk, Yankee bayonet, a sweetheart left behind

Girl: Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas, that's where my true love lies

Soldier: Look for me when the sun-bright swallow sings upon the birch bow high

Girl: But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils all a-chew on your bones so dry

But when the sun breaks to no more bullets in battlecreek,then will you make a grave?
For I will be home then, I will be home then, I will be home then, I will be home then, then

Girl: When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee made a seam to hem me in

Soldier: There at the fair when our eyes caught, careless, got my heart right pierced by a pin
Soldier: But O did you see all the dead of Manassas, all the bellies and the bones and the bile?

Girl: No, I lingered here with the blankets barren and my own belly big with child

But when the sun breaks to no more bullets in battlecreek, then will you make a grave?
For I will be home then, I will be home then, I will be home then, I will be home then

Soldier
: And stems and bones and stone walls too, can't keep me from you
This skein of skin is all too few to keep me from you

Solider and Girl: But O my love though our bodies may be parted, though our skin may not touch skin
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow, I will come on the breath of the wind

Ancora dall'album "Murder Ballads"

They found Mary Bellows cuffed to the bed with a rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head, O, poor Mary Bellows
She'd grown up hungry, she'd grown up poor, she left her home in Arkansas, O, poor Mary Bellows
She wanted to see the deep blue sea,he travelled across Tennessee, O, poor Mary Bellows
She met a man along the way he introduced himself as Richard Slade, O, poor Mary Bellows
Poor Mary thought that she might die when she saw the ocean for the first time, O, poor Mary Bellows
She checked into a cheap little place, Richard Slade carried in her old suitcase, O, poor Mary Bellows
"I'm a good girl, sir", she said to him, I couldn't possibly permit you in, O, poor Mary Bellows
Slade tipped his hat and winked his eye and turned away without goodbye, O, poor Mary Bellows
She sat on her bed and thought of home with the sea breeze whistling all alone, O, poor Mary Bellows
In hope and loneliness she crossed the floor and undid the latch on the front door, O, poor Mary Bellows
They found her the next day cuffed to the bed witha rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
O, poor Mary Bellows
So mothers keep your girls at home, don't let them journey all alone
Tell them this world is full of danger and to shun the company of strangers
O, poor Mary Bellows, O, poor Mary Bellows

It was just a little while past the Sunset Strip, they found the girls body in an open pit
Her mouth was sewn shut, but her eyes were still wide gazing through the fog to the other side
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail, with no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pail
Just gazing at the marks on the opposite wall, remembering the music of my lovers call
So you make no mistake, I know just what it takes to pull a mans soul back from heaven's gates
I've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin, but they say its never too late to start again
Oh when, oh when will the spirit come a-callin' for my soul to send
Oh when, oh when will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
It was dark as the grave, it was just about three when the warden with his key came to set me free
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit, a pistol and a hat and a worn out flute
So I took a bus down to the Rio Grande and I shot a man down on the edge of town
Then I stole me a horse and I rode it around til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down
He said, you make no mistake, I know just what it takes to pull a mans soul back from heaven's gates
I've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin, but they say its never too late to start again
Oh when, oh when will the spirit come a-callin' for my soul to send
Oh when, Oh when will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
Well the sheriff let me go with a knife and a song so I took the first train up to Oregon
And I killed the first man that I came upon 'cause the devil works quick, you know it dont take long
Then I went to the river for to take a swim, you know that black river water is as black as sin
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe, and then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade
Oh when, oh when will the spirit come a calling for my soul to send
Oh when, oh when will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
Oh when, oh when will that black river water wash me clean again
Oh when, oh when will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
