After a week in Portland it is only appropriate to post something from Colin Meloy, front man for the Decemberists. Here is a lovely song from his newish solo album. Enjoy. Lyrics below.

Wonder by Colin Meloy

My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It’s weird and it’s wonderful, dear

An ankle, an earlobe, an elbow bone
It’s weird how it wonderful grows
And it was only me and you
That made this three come out of two

My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It’s weird and it’s wonderful, dear
Oooooo
Oooooo

A’tumblin’ in Dublin and next thing you know
A weird and a wonderful show
All tendons and ribcabe and beating heart
A weird and a wonderful start

And it was only me and you
That made this three come out of two
My darling, what wonder have we wrought here?
It’s weird and it’s wonderful, dear
It’s weird, but mostly wonderful, dear
