Coast

I'm not a stone

You're not to gather

And break every bone

Ah ah ah

We labor 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

Cause 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

Cause I will

Last night when I was sleeping

I had a dream my body was a boat

In the mouth of an angry harbor

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

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 harbor

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 harbor

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
