There's a lamp that won't light

In my poetry room

And children out playing

And a big full moon

My man's barricaded down in his womb

He'll be coming out soon



I remember when I met him

He blew in like the wind

No one was more beautiful

Or dangerous than him

He blew through my soul

Like a tangerine wind

He'll be coming out soon



I never knew I

Was built so strong

My heart

My heart is a boat on the sea

I never thought I

Was built for hurricanes

My heart

My heart is a boat on the sea



Luxury looms on a fog bound day

I'm not alone now and I'm not afraid

I'm clean and I'm free it's all stripped away

My debts are paid



I wonder if he ever looks down on the sea

And thinks about the time

He spent with me

I know everything's exactly how it should be

All's right with this world



I never knew I

Was built so strong

My heart

My heart is a boat on the sea

I never knew I

Was built for hurricanes

My heart

My heart is a boat on the sea



In the cold and the dark...

You're the grace of my heart



In the cold and the dark...

You're the grace of my heart



In the cold... and the dark...

You're the grace...of my heart
