This cocoon, caught in Vesuvius' shadow
Only the ashes remain
And I waited there for you
Why couldn't you?

    I think that's the point. After all the tension of Odalisque, there's this catharsis; the song moves like driftwood.

    I'm not really listening to the lyrics, so maybe there's something big I'm missing, but I've always found this a disappointment after such a perfect song like Odalisque. Odalisque starts out softly, and builds perfectly to the ultimate climax. This songs just drifts slowly along. Not that it needs to build to the same release as Odalisque - I'm not saying that - it's just this song seems... boring... No tension. Just lazy. That's just me though - glad you all seem to love it!

    One of my favorite Decemberists songs. Easily my favorite off this album. Meloy sounds positively divine.
