Lyrics I'll Be Your Girl - The Decemberists

I'll Be Your Girl

When the summer days live to bore you
And the river lies long before you
And the one that you love ignores you
I’ll be your girl
Like a senator works a full room
Like a lover undone by full moon
Like a lily alive in full bloom
I’ll be your girl
And when the tempests rage
And all the oceans roar
At your door
I could be your man
But I’d be that much more
And more
So when everything soft upbraids you
When fortune has long betrayed you
And you’re longing for an arm to stay you
I’ll be your girl
And when the tempests rage
And all the oceans roar
At your door
I could be your man
But I’d be that much more
And more
So if you’re ever feeling less your time due
Like someone bereft and lied to
And you never need a guy to guide you
I’ll be your girl
I’ll be your girl
I’ll be your girl
