Don't carry it all
by The Decemberists

Here we come to a turning of the season
Witness to the arc towards the sun
The neighbors blessed burden, within reason
Becomes a burden borne of all in one
But nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all, don´t carry it all
We are all our hands in holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
But this I swear to all
A monument to build beneath the arbors
Upon a cliff the that towers towards the trees
But every vessel pitching hard to starboard
Lay it´s head on summers freckled knees
And nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all don´t carry it all
We are all our hands in holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
This I swear to all, this I swear to all
Buried wreath of trillium and ivy
Laid upon the body of the boy
Lazy will the long come from it´s hiding
Return his quiet certitude to the soil
So raise a glass to turnings of the season
And watch it as it arcs towards the sun
And you must bear your neighbor´s burden within reason
And your labors will be borne when all is done
And nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all don´t carry it all
We are all our hands in holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
And this I swear to all
And this I swear to all
And this I swear to all
To all, to all, to all
Witness to the arc towards the sun
The neighbors blessed burden, within reason
Becomes a burden borne of all in one
But nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all, don´t carry it all
We are all our hands in holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
But this I swear to all
A monument to build beneath the arbors
Upon a cliff the that towers towards the trees
But every vessel pitching hard to starboard
Lay it´s head on summers freckled knees
And nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all don´t carry it all
We are all our hands in holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
This I swear to all, this I swear to all
Buried wreath of trillium and ivy
Laid upon the body of the boy
Lazy will the long come from it´s hiding
Return his quiet certitude to the soil
So raise a glass to turnings of the season
And watch it as it arcs towards the sun
And you must bear your neighbor´s burden within reason
And your labors will be borne when all is done
And nobody, nobody knows
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders
Don´t carry it all don´t carry it all
We are all our hands in holders
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
And this I swear to all
And this I swear to all
And this I swear to all
To all, to all, to all
