January Hymn Lyrics by Decemberists

Hear the hymn to welcome in the day
Heralding a summer's early sway
And all the bulbs all coming in
To begin
Thrushes beating battle with the wind
Disrupts my reverie again

Pegging clothing on the line
Training jasmine how divine
And up the arbor to your door
And more
Standing on the landing with the war
You shouldered all the night before

But once upon it
The yellow bonnet
Garland all the lawn
You were waking
Day was breaking
A panoply of song
The summer comes to Springville

Baronet of ivory in the trees
Expanding on its empire by degrees
And all the branches burst abloom
And boom
Heaven sent the cardinal maroon
To decorate our living room

But once upon it
The yellow bonnet
Garland all the lawn
You were waking
Day was breaking
A panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville

Years from now
When this old lie
Isn't ambling anymore
Will I bring myself to rye?
I give my best to Springville

But once upon it
The yellow bonnet
Garland all the lawn
You were waking
Day was breaking
A panoply of song
