Coast

I'm not a stone You're not to gather And break every bone ah ah ah We labour beneath the weight of our sorrow, the crown of our grief ah ah ah Just because I'm working and you sleep alone Don't mean that I won't be there when you need me at home Cos I will Just because I'm working when you sleep at night Don't mean that I won't be there in the nick of time Cos I will Last night when I was sleeping I had a dream my body was a boat In the mouth of an angry harbour At the lip of an unfamiliar coast Could not explain on waking How you were the cape of certain hope Couldn't paint it in pictures darling I only wanted you to know ah ah, ah ah oh AND REPEAT FOR THE REST OF THE SONG: You're making a mess You cut up the curtains for your summer dress ah ah oh We danced like we did Like children who don't know what modesty is ah ah oh When you done spinning like an errant moon Curled up on the carpet like you're missing the womb of your mum You can take your battles to the king of the sea I'll be right behind, you can count on me, my love Last night when I was sleeping I had a dream my body was a boat In the mouth of an angry harbour At the lip of an unfamiliar coast Could not explain on waking How you were the cape of certain hope Couldn't paint it in pictures darling At the lip of an unfamiliar coast Last night when I was sleeping I had a dream my body was a boat In the mouth of an angry harbour At the lip of an unfamiliar coast Could not explain on waking How you were the cape of certain hope Couldn't paint it in pictures darling I only wanted you to know ah ah, ah ah oh
