[00:00.00]The Decemberists - June Hymn
[00:08.49]
[00:10.49]Here's a hymn to welcome in the day
[00:15.33]Heralding a summer's early sway
[00:18.47]And all the bulbs all coming in
[00:22.04]To begin
[00:25.05]The thrushes bleating battle with the wrens
[00:27.78]Disrupts my reverie again
[00:31.24]
[00:33.05]Pegging clothing on the line
[00:37.87]Training jasmine how to vine
[00:40.43]Up the arbor to your door
[00:44.30]And more
[00:46.87]You're standing on the landing with the war
[00:49.74]You shouldered all the night before
[00:53.11]
[00:55.56]And once upon it
[00:57.99]The yellow bonnets
[01:00.44]Garland all the lawn
[01:05.36]And you were waking
[01:07.75]And day was breaking
[01:10.13]A panoply of song
[01:15.00]And summer comes to Springville Hill
[01:19.20]
[01:23.63]A barony of ivy in the trees
[01:28.44]Expanding out its empire by degrees
[01:31.50]And all the branches burst to bloom
[01:35.22]In the boom
[01:38.30]Heaven sent this cardinal maroon
[01:41.13]To decorate our living room
[01:44.32]
Chorus
[01:46.80]And once upon it
[01:49.20]The yellow bonnets
[01:51.69]Garland all the lawn
[01:56.51]And you were waking
[01:59.02]And day was breaking
[02:01.37]A panoply of song
[02:06.25]And summer comes to Springville Hill
[02:10.68]
[02:15.99]And years from now when this old light
[02:20.95]Isn't ambling anymore
[02:25.81]Will I bring myself to write
[02:35.45]“I give my best to Springville Hill”
[02:39.98]
Chorus
[03:07.26]And once upon it
[03:09.69]The yellow bonnets
[03:12.07]Garland all the lawn
[03:17.00]And you were waking
[03:19.44]And day was breaking
[03:21.77]A panoply of song
[03:34.06][03:26.70]And summer comes to Springville Hill
[03:42.24]
[03:49.74]
