This may be the most gorgeous love song ever written. Have you heard it?

It's by The decemberists. It's called 'Red Right Ankle" Here are the lyrics. Tell me what you think.


This is the story of your red right ankle


And how it came to meet your leg


And how the muscle bone and sinews tangled


And how the skin was softly shed


And how it whispered,


"Oh, adhere to me for we are bound by symmetry


And whatever differences our lives have been


We together make a limb"


This is the story of your red right ankle


This is the story of your gypsy uncle


You never knew cause he was dead


And how his face was carved an ripped with wrinkles


In the picture in your head


And remember how you found the key


To his hide-out in the Pyrenees,


But you wanted to keep his secret safe,


So you threw the key away?


This is the story of your gypsy uncle


This is the story of the boys who loved you


Who love you now and loved you then


And some were sweet and some were cold and snuffed you


And some just layed around in bed

This may be the most gorgeous love song ever written. Have you heard it?
it sounds pretty! I'll hafta listen to it!
