Gather up these weary bones Another day to muster Yeah, twisted wreckage spent Held in strictest confidence Lamp burning in the sitting room Empty house pouring salt in my wounds Close the door and throw the bolt and await the results There's a certain slant of light and hope that's in your eyes And I hardly realize as I slip beneath those waves Yeah, this rain seems to last and last Heavy heart yearning, gray sky overcast In this room for awhile, I collapse like a small child Let the doubts all perish at sea You've got to learn to dream all over again How long it's hard to tell in the belly of a whale Tell me your deep dark secret and I will tell you mine Is that your deep dark secret? Oh well, nevermind
