The Decemberists – The Perfect Crime #1 Lyrics 15 years ago
It's just French for the line in the rest of the song.

The Decemberists – The Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowned) Lyrics 15 years ago
This song is breathtaking. I agree with the above interpretation, but I am confused on a couple points -- first of all, who does the chorus come from? Maragaret, William, or both of them? I assume the latter, because she comes in at that point in the song, but does anybody else see it another way?

Second, can anybody see a particular reason he switches to third person for the last line of the fourth verse? I noticed that he makes a similar change in The Abduction of Maragaret.
