Lyrics Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen

Swallowed Up

I fell asleep

On a dark and starless sea

With nothing but the cloak

Of God's mercy over me

I come upon strange earth

And to a great black cave

I dreamt I awoke

As if buried in my grave

We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

Bones of sailors from the north

And sailors from the east

Lay high and up high

In the in the belly of a beast

A beast should you wander in its path

On your ship and your flesh you serve

You disappear from this world

'Till you've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

We trusted our skills

And our good selves

Put our faith that with God

The righteous in this world prevail

But we've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
