lyrics

Quiet by the river in the middle of June
I lost my virtue in the weeds
As through the water, calm and clear,
The Summer King he called to me.

He took my hand and pulled me down,
and in a voice like Spring he said,
"Leave your cares on the mossy shore
and with me lay on the river bed."

I will not see Autumn's fire,
no more shall I fear the frost;
I shall slake my sweet desire,
lovelorn, fearless, I am lost.

A hyacinth scepter & a river birch throne,
spatterdock tobacco in a Dutchman's pipe.
A firefly procession & a bullfrog choir,
a Summer rain on our wedding night.

about

The Forgetmenauts Berkeley, California

The Forgetmenauts weave folklore and mythology into a strange, fresh, and rich soundscape. Their musicality is orchestral, folksy, alternative, and punk all at once. Their lyrics spin old tales and new into exciting and poetic songs that weave together love and queerness, longing and revenge. Come for the Marriage of Bigfoot and Mothman, stay for the Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad. ... more
