Dry The River - Coast (Bible Belt) lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm not a stone You're not to gather [?] And break every bone We labour beneath the weight of our sorrow The crown of our grief [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] You're making a mess You cut up the curtains for your summer dress We danced like we did Like children who don't know what modesty is [Pre-Chorus] When you're done spinning like an errant moon Curl 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 [Chorus] 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
