Buried in the Waves

Oh the weather and wind she poured my drink Stumbled 'neith the stars home Couldn't find no love from the angels above nor the devil down below Through this sorrow I learned to borrow the song from the blackest crow Through the wind and the hail we fumbled and fell We're steady as we go Steady as we go And these endless fall end days forgive that saving sea And the love of a girl, she's holding precious pearls Buried in the waves Buried in the waves Well the hurricane came and borrowed my name Stolen, she clipped my wings Neither the rich nor the poor couldn't find no cure for these sort of things We move along like a bedtime song Quiet and holy and slow We tossed our backs, we tightened our straps We're steady as we go Steady as we go Alright, okay, now I know Here in the hands of the hand that throw the bones Oh, the water she's hiding the only one who knows Oh she will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole Now the hills, they're ghosts, so haunted now We found comfort near the firelight The stories we told, they turned us cold and our fingers white Yeah we're lost, we're lost and flame Made a map from the power lines The city down below with the factory smoke, the world changed We're steady as we came And those endless fall end days forgive that saving sea And the love of a girl, she's holding precious pearls Buried in the waves Buried in Well alright, okay, now I know Here in the hands of the hand that throw the bones Oh, the water she's hiding the only one who knows Oh she will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
