The Cape Race - The 77 lyrics

"God has given me grace..." you said "...there are debts to be paid" As we circled the bay: "They're so... insignificant." With a smile on his face: "I swear, now you're safe from harm." And he lifted his arm so slow We braved the cold I heard them scream, and I didn't breathe a word Blankets or bruises surround you in your sleep tonight They will never adore you but they can't ignore you tonight I left the island behind that night But the look in his eyes when he stole paradise I know is keeping me close Down we fell in twos and threes The ones I've known, they cover over me I heard them scream... (Try to keep my frame beneath, oh keep me still, oh keep me company) ...and I didn't breathe a word Blankets or bruises surround you in your sleep tonight They will never adore you but they can't ignore you tonight
