Robert Plant - The Blanket Of Night lyrics

Paper cup of a boat, heaving chest of the sea Carry both of us, carry her, carry me From the place we were born to the land of the free Carry both of us, carry her, carry me The ocean that bares us from our home Could save us or take us for its own The danger that life should lead us here My angel, could I have steered us clear? Gone the light from her eyes with the lives that we made Just the two of us in the night on the waves Moving silent her lips by the moon's only light Sewing silver prayers in the blanket of night The ocean that bares us from our home Could save us or take us for its own The danger that life should lead us here My angel, could I have steered us clear? Paper cup of a boat, heaving chest of the sea Carry both of us, oh, swallow her, swallow me
