The Blanket Of Night Lyrics - The Take Off And Landing Of Everything - Elbow

Paper cup of a boat 

Heaving chest of the sea 

Carry both of us 

Carry her, carry me 

From the place we were born 

To the land of the free 

Carry both of us 

Carry her, carry me 

The ocean 

That bares us from our home 

Could save us 

Or take us for its own 

The danger 

That life should lead us here 

My angel 

Could I have steered us clear?

Gone the light from her eyes 

With the lives that we made 

Just the two of us 

In the night on the waves 

Moving silent her lips 

By the moon's only light 

Sewing silver prayers 

In the blanket of night 

The ocean 

That bares us from our home 

Could save us 

Or take us for its own 

The danger 

That life should lead us here 

My angel 

Could I have steered us clear? 

Paper cup of a boat 

Heaving chest of the sea 

Carry both of us 

Oh, swallow her, swallow me
