The Decemberists – Down by the Water Lyrics 15 years ago
He's talking about his hometown, Portland, OR. Portland is on the Columbia river and built on an ancient riverbed. His speaks of his experiences growing up. From a"towhead teen" struggling as a musician, through seasons of ups and downs. He's facing challenges throughout life, "I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup" in order to find success. He then starts to speak fondly of his city, he's growing accustomed to it, finding comfort in familiarity. The last part "All dolled up in gaberdine" speaks of his current fame in a bittersweet way. Done riding the rockstar fame of his youth and settling into a mature muscian role and exploring his music.



All dolled up in gabardine
The last flashing lee to appear nineteen
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag

The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
