Coast
I'm not a stoneYou're not to gatherAnd break every boneah ah ah
We labour beneath the weight of our sorrow, the crown of our griefah ah ah
Just because I'm working and you sleep aloneDon't mean that I won't be there when you need me at homeCos I will
Just because I'm working when you sleep at nightDon't mean that I won't be there in the nick of timeCos I will
Last night when I was sleepingI had a dream my body was a boatIn the mouth of an angry harbourAt the lip of an unfamiliar coast
Could not explain on wakingHow you were the cape of certain hopeCouldn't paint it in pictures darlingI only wanted you to knowah ah, ah ah oh
You're making a messYou cut up the curtains for your summer dressah ah oh
We danced like we didLike children who don't know what modesty isah ah oh
When you done spinning like an errant moonCurled up on the carpet like you're missing the womb of your mum
You can take your battles to the king of the seaI'll be right behind, you can count on me, my love
Last night when I was sleepingI had a dream my body was a boatIn the mouth of an angry harbourAt the lip of an unfamiliar coast
Could not explain on wakingHow you were the cape of certain hopeCouldn't paint it in pictures darlingAt the lip of an unfamiliar coast
Last night when I was sleepingI had a dream my body was a boatIn the mouth of an angry harbourAt the lip of an unfamiliar coast
Could not explain on wakingHow you were the cape of certain hopeCouldn't paint it in pictures darlingI only wanted you to knowah ah, ah ah oh
