THE DECEMBERISTS LYRICS - Isn't It A Lovely Night?

"Isn't It A Lovely Night?"



Isn't a lovely night

And so alive

With fireflies

Providing us their holy light



And here we made a bed of boughs

And thistle down

That we had found

To lay upon the dewey ground



And isn't it a lovely day

We got in from our play

Isn't it?

A sweet little baby



And wasn't it a lovely breeze

That swept the leaves

Of arbor reeves

And bent a brush of blushing knees



And here we died our little deaths

And we were left to catch our breaths

So swiftly lifting from our chests



And isn't a lovely way

We got in from our play

Isn't it?

A sweet little baby
