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 realise as I slip beneath those waves.

Yeah, this rain seems to last and last,
Heavy heart, yearning grey sky, overcast,
In this womb for a while, I collapse like a small child,
Let the doubts all perish at sea,
You got to learn to dream all over again,
How long' - It's hard to tell in the belly of your whale.

There's a certain slant of light and the hope that's in your eyes,
And I hardly realise as I slip beneath those waves.

Tell me your deep, dark secret, yeah, and I will tell you mine,
Oh, is that your deep, dark secret'
Oh well, never mind.

There's a certain slant of light and the hope that's in your eyes,
And I hardly realise as I slip beneath those waves,
As I slip beneath those waves,
As I slip beneath those waves,
As I slip beneath those waves.

Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
