swallowed in the sea

You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me
And thats what made me see where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf and kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself, you can only blame me

And I could write a song a hundred miles long
Well, thats where I belong and you belong with me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line and hung me out to dry
And darling, thats when I decide to go to sea
You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes
Made me realize what I could not see

And I could write a book, the one theyll say that shook
The world and then it took, it took it back from me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And youll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song a hundred miles long
Well, thats where I belong and you belong with me
The streets youre walking on a thousand houses long
Well, thats where I belong and you belong with me
Ah, what good is it to live with nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see
Oh, the streets youre walking on a thousand houses long
Well, thats where I belong and you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
You belong with me, not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me, not swallowed ïn the sea
