I spent a year in the mouth of a whale with a flame and a book of

signs

You'll never know how hard I've failed trying to make up for lost time

Once I believed in things unseen I was blinded by the dark

Out of the multitude to me he came and broke my heart

When the dust in the fields has flown

And the youngest of hearts has grown

And you doubt you will ever be free

Honey don't bail on me

River is wide and oh so deep and it winds and winds around

I dream we're happy in my sleep, floating down and down and down

And the tide rushes by where we stand

And the earth underneath turns to sand

And we're waiting for someone to see

Honey, don't bail on me

Tell Ma I loved a man even though I turned and ran

Lovely and fine, I could've been, laying down in the palm of his hand

Laying down in the palm of his hand

Laying down in the palm of his hand

Staying down in the palm of his hand

In the morning you wait for the sun

And secretly hope it won't come

But time washes everything clean

Honey, now don't bail on me

Don't bail on me

No, don't bail on me

Ooh
