[Verse 1]
Gather up these weary bones
Another day to muster
Yeah, twisted wreckage, spent
Held in strictest confidence
Lamp burning in the sitting room
Empty house pouring salt in my wounds
Close the door and throw the bolt
And await the results
[Chorus]
There's a certain slant of light
And the hope that's in your eyes
And I hardly realize
As I slip
Beneath those waves
[Verse 2]
Yeah, this rain seems to last and last
Heavy heart yearning, gray sky overcast
In this womb for a while
I collapse like a small child
Let the doubts all perish at sea
You've got to learn to dream all over again
How long? It's hard to tell
In the belly of your whale
Gather up these weary bones
Another day to muster
Yeah, twisted wreckage, spent
Held in strictest confidence
Lamp burning in the sitting room
Empty house pouring salt in my wounds
Close the door and throw the bolt
And await the results
[Chorus]
There's a certain slant of light
And the hope that's in your eyes
And I hardly realize
As I slip
Beneath those waves
[Verse 2]
Yeah, this rain seems to last and last
Heavy heart yearning, gray sky overcast
In this womb for a while
I collapse like a small child
Let the doubts all perish at sea
You've got to learn to dream all over again
How long? It's hard to tell
In the belly of your whale
