My name is Leslie Ann Levine
My mother birthed me down a dry ravine
My mother birthed me far too soon
Born at nine and dead at noon

    The guitar at the beginning just sounds so brassy and wonderful.

    I agree, for sure The Decemberists' best! I love the storytelling, descriptive lyrics. And the way the music sounds so lovely melancholy. I think this is some of Colin's best singing too ♥

    Aren't we all clinging to the petticoat of the girl that died with me? Hum, mom getting old, no longer a girl and our youth died, and freud would argue that we all have some mommy issues.....
