Lyrics Belly of a Whale - Tom McRae

Belly of a Whale

And you let go, slept in the belly of a whale
And it keeps her safe.
She dreams of falling through the waves in an ocean glue.
And you would go, she kept a poem in her shoe
And it keeps her safe.
Words of beauty, words of grace, she almost glance.
And when I’m falling into sleep
My mind would draw me into memory.
I think I’ve been too long away,
My burning cold fade into gray,
I miss your flame.
And you were a boy, sees the world a different way
And it keeps him safe,
Keeps the smile upon his face in a private joke.
When I’m falling into sleep
My whiskey dreams play tricks on me.
And I think I’m someone else,
Someone who’s plans all worked out this time.
Come on, cover me, sweet sleep
Come on, love me in my dream.
Come on, cover me, sweet sleep.
Think I’ve been too long away,
The day is night and the night won’t take me in its arms.
