C 
I'm not a stone 
You're not to gather 
              F 
And break every bone 
      C 
ah ah ah 

                                              
We labour beneath  
the weight of our sorrow, 
                 F 
the crown of our grief 
      C 
ah ah ah  

F 
Just because I'm working and you sleep alone 
      Em 
Don't mean that I won't be there when you need me at home 
      C 
Cos I will 

F 
Just because I'm working when you sleep at night 
      Em 
Don't mean that I won't be there in the nick of time 
      C 
Cos I will 

F 
Last night when I was sleeping 
I had a dream my body was a boat 
C 
In the mouth of an angry harbour 
At the lip of an unfamiliar coast 

F 
Could not explain on waking 
How you were the cape of certain hope 
C 
Couldn't paint it in pictures darling 
                     F 
I only wanted you to know 

ah ah, ah ah oh 

AND REPEAT FOR THE REST OF THE SONG:  

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
