Gather up these weary bones Another day to muster Yeah twisted wreckage spent Held in strictest confidence Lamp burning in the sitting room Empty house pouring salt in my wounds Close the door and throw the bolt And await the results There's a certain slant of light And the hope that's in your eyes And I hardly realize As I slip beneath those waves Yeah this rain seems to last and last
Heavy heart yearning gray sky overcast In this womb for a while I collapse like a small child Let the doubts all perish at sea You've got to learn to dream all over again How long it's hard to tell In the belly of your whale Tell me your deep dark secret Yeah and I will tell you mine Oh is that your deep dark secret Oh well never mind
