Paper cup of the 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 o---cea n
That bears us from our home
Could save u s
Or take us for it's own
The danger
That life should lead us here
My an gel
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
Sowing silver prayers
In the blanket of night
The o cea n
That bears us from our home
Could save u s
Or take us for it's own
The dan ger
That life should lead us here
My an ge l
Could I have steered us clear?
Paper cup of the boat
Heaving chest of the sea
Carry both of us
Or, swallow her, swallow me
