Tuned a half-step down, enjoy! 
CI'm not a stone
You're not to gather
And break everFy bone
ah ah Cah
We labour beneath 
the weight of our sorrow,
the crown of our Fgrief
ah ah Cah 
FJust because I'm working and you sleep alone
Don't Emmean that I won't be there when you need me at home
Cos I Cwill
FJust because I'm working when you sleep at night
Don't Emmean that I won't be there in the nick of time
Cos I Cwill
FLast night when I was sleeping
I had a dream my body was a boat
CIn the mouth of an angry harbour
At the lip of an unfamiliar coast
FCould not explain on waking
How you were the cape of certain hope
CCouldn't paint it in pictures darling
I only wanted you to Fknow
ah ah, ah ah oh
You're making a mess
You cut up the curtains for your summer dress
ah ah oh
We danced like we did
Like children who don't know what modesty is
ah ah oh
When you done spinning like an errant moon
Curled up on the carpet like you're missing the womb of your mum
You can take your battles to the king of the sea
I'll be right behind, you can count on me, my love
Last night when I was sleeping
I had a dream my body was a boat
In the mouth of an angry harbour
At the lip of an unfamiliar coast
Could not explain on waking
How you were the cape of certain hope
Couldn't paint it in pictures darling
At the lip of an unfamiliar coast
Last night when I was sleeping
I had a dream my body was a boat
In the mouth of an angry harbour
At the lip of an unfamiliar coast
Could not explain on waking
How you were the cape of certain hope
Couldn't paint it in pictures darling
I only wanted you to know
ah ah, ah ah oh

Tuned a half-step down, enjoy!

I'm not a stone

You're not to gather

And break every bone

ah ah ah

We labour beneath

the weight of our sorrow,

the crown of our grief

ah ah ah

Just because I'm working and you sleep alone

Don't mean that I won't be there when you need me at home

Cos I will

Just because I'm working when you sleep at night

Don't mean that I won't be there in the nick of time

Cos I will

Last night when I was sleeping

I had a dream my body was a boat

In the mouth of an angry harbour

At the lip of an unfamiliar coast

Could not explain on waking

How you were the cape of certain hope

Couldn't paint it in pictures darling

I only wanted you to know

ah ah, ah ah oh

You're making a mess

You cut up the curtains for your summer dress

ah ah oh

We danced like we did

Like children who don't know what modesty is

ah ah oh

When you done spinning like an errant moon

Curled up on the carpet like you're missing the womb of your mum

You can take your battles to the king of the sea

I'll be right behind, you can count on me, my love

Last night when I was sleeping

I had a dream my body was a boat

In the mouth of an angry harbour

At the lip of an unfamiliar coast

Could not explain on waking

How you were the cape of certain hope

Couldn't paint it in pictures darling

At the lip of an unfamiliar coast

Last night when I was sleeping

I had a dream my body was a boat

In the mouth of an angry harbour

At the lip of an unfamiliar coast

Could not explain on waking

How you were the cape of certain hope

Couldn't paint it in pictures darling

I only wanted you to know

ah ah, ah ah oh
