verse 1
Well the wind went west, she poured my drink,
Following the stars home (?)
Couldn't find no love from the angels above
Nor the devil down below
Through all the sorrow, and every barlow (?)
Stolen from the blackest hole
Through the wind and the hail, we fumbled and failed
Steady as we go, steady as we go
Pre-Chorus
And these amulets falling days
For you my stage, stage (?)
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
verse 2
And the hurricane came, she borrowed my name,
Swollen she crept my way
Neither rich nor the poor couldn't find no cure
For this stolen thing (?)
We mumbled on, like a big time song,
Quiet, holy and slow
We tossed our backs, she tightened our straps,
Steady as we go, steady as we go
Alright, okay, now I know
Here in the hems of the hands that roll the bones
That water, she's high, and the only one who knows
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
verse 3
Well the hills of gold, so haunted now
Found comfort near the firelight
All the stories we told, turned us cold
Nothing's right
We're lost, we're lost in flame
Made a map from the power lines
Oh the city down below let the factory show (?)
The words shined
Steady as we die
Pre-Chorus
And these amulets falling days,
For you my stage, stage
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Buried in the waves, buried in
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Alright, okay, now I know
Here in the hems of the hands that roll the bones
And that water she's high, and the only one who knows
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
