Album: Globe Sessions
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale with a flame and a book of
signs
You'll never know how hard I've failed trying to make up for lost time
Once I believed in things unseen I was blinded by the dark
Out of the multitude to me he came and broke my heart
When the dust in the fields has flown
And the youngest of hearts has grown
And you doubt you will ever be free
Honey don't bail on me
River is wide and oh so deep and it winds and winds around
I dream we're happy in my sleep, floating down and down and down
And the tide rushes by where we stand
And the earth underneath turns to sand
And we're waiting for someone to see
Honey, don't bail on me
Tell Ma I loved a man even though I turned and ran
Lovely and fine, I could've been, laying down in the palm of his hand
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Staying down in the palm of his hand
In the morning you wait for the sun
And secretly hope it won't come
But time washes everything clean
Honey, now don't bail on me
Don't bail on me
No, don't bail on me
Ooh?
