Elbow - The Blanket of Night lyrics
[Elbow - The Blanket of Night lyrics]
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 it's 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 it's 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 or swallow her
Swallow me
