[Verse 1: Colin Meloy]
Mother, I can hear your footfall now
Soft disturbance in the dead fall, how
It precedes you like a black smoke pall
Still the wanting comes in waves
[Verse 2: Colin Meloy]
And you delivered me from danger then
Tore my cradle from the reedy glen
Swore to save me from the world of men
Still the wanting comes in waves, in waves, and waves
[Chorus 1: Colin Meloy]
And the wanting comes in waves
And the wanting comes in waves
And I want this night
And I want this night
[Verse 3: Shara Worden]
How I made you
I wrought you, I pulled you
From ore I labored you
From cancer I cradled you
[Chorus 2: Shara Worden]
And now, this is how I am repaid?
This is how I am repaid?
Mother, I can hear your footfall now
Soft disturbance in the dead fall, how
It precedes you like a black smoke pall
Still the wanting comes in waves
[Verse 2: Colin Meloy]
And you delivered me from danger then
Tore my cradle from the reedy glen
Swore to save me from the world of men
Still the wanting comes in waves, in waves, and waves
[Chorus 1: Colin Meloy]
And the wanting comes in waves
And the wanting comes in waves
And I want this night
And I want this night
[Verse 3: Shara Worden]
How I made you
I wrought you, I pulled you
From ore I labored you
From cancer I cradled you
[Chorus 2: Shara Worden]
And now, this is how I am repaid?
This is how I am repaid?
