I'm not a stone
 You're not to gather
 And break every bone
 ah ah ah

 We labour beneath the weight of our sorrow, the crown of our grief
 ah ah ah 

 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

 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
 ah ah, ah ah oh

 You're making a mess
 You cut up the curtains for your summer dress
 ah ah oh

 We danced like we did
 Like children who don't know what modesty is
 ah ah oh

 When you done spinning like an errant moon
 Curled 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

 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
 ah ah, ah ah oh
