Oh the weather and wind she poured my drink
Stumbled 'neith the stars home
Couldn't find no love from the angels above nor the devil down below

Through this sorrow I learned to borrow the song from the blackest crow
Through the wind and the hail we fumbled and fell
We're steady as we go
Steady as we go

And these endless fall end days forgive that saving sea
And the love of a girl, she's holding precious pearls
Buried in the waves
Buried in the waves

Well the hurricane came and borrowed my name
Stolen, she clipped my wings
Neither the rich nor the poor couldn't find no cure for these sort of things

We move along like a bedtime song
Quiet and holy and slow
We tossed our backs, we tightened our straps
We're steady as we go
Steady as we go

Alright, okay, now I know
Here in the hands of the hand that throw the bones
Oh, the water she's hiding the only one who knows
Oh she will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
Now the hills, they're ghosts, so haunted now
We found comfort near the firelight
The stories we told, they turned us cold and our fingers white

Yeah we're lost, we're lost and flame
Made a map from the power lines
The city down below with the factory smoke, the world changed

We're steady as we came

And those endless fall end days forgive that saving sea
And the love of a girl, she's holding precious pearls
Buried in the waves
Buried in

Well alright, okay, now I know
Here in the hands of the hand that throw the bones
Oh, the water she's hiding the only one who knows
Oh she will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole

She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
