Belly of a Whale
I knew a girl
Slept in the belly of a whale
And it keeps her safe
She dreams of falling through the waves
In an ocean blue
I knew a girl
She kept a poem in her shoe
And it keeps her safe
On words of beauty, words of grace
She almost glides
And when I'm falling into sleep
My mind withdrawing into memory
I think I've been too long awake
My burning coal fading to gray
I miss your flame
I knew a boy
He sees the world a different way
And it keeps him safe
Keeps the smile upon his face
In a private joke
When I'm falling into sleep
My whiskey dreams play tricks on me
And I think I'm someone else
Someone whose plans all work out
This time
Come on, cover me, sweet sleep
Come on, love me in my dream
Come on, cover me, sweet sleep
Think I've been too long awake
Day is night, and the night won't take
Me in its arms
Slept in the belly of a whale
And it keeps her safe
She dreams of falling through the waves
In an ocean blue
I knew a girl
She kept a poem in her shoe
And it keeps her safe
On words of beauty, words of grace
She almost glides
And when I'm falling into sleep
My mind withdrawing into memory
I think I've been too long awake
My burning coal fading to gray
I miss your flame
I knew a boy
He sees the world a different way
And it keeps him safe
Keeps the smile upon his face
In a private joke
When I'm falling into sleep
My whiskey dreams play tricks on me
And I think I'm someone else
Someone whose plans all work out
This time
Come on, cover me, sweet sleep
Come on, love me in my dream
Come on, cover me, sweet sleep
Think I've been too long awake
Day is night, and the night won't take
Me in its arms
