Swallowed in the Sea

You cut me down a tree

And brought it back to me

And that's what made me see

Where I was goin' 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, that's 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 the line

And hung me out to dry

And darling, that's when I

Decide to go see

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 they'll 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 you'll come back to me

Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song

A hundred miles long

Well, that's where I belong

And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on

A thousand houses long

Well, that's where I belong

And you belong with me

Oh, what good is it to live

With nothing left to give?

Forget, but not forgive

Not loving all you see

Are the streets you're walking on

A thousand houses long?

Well, that's 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 in the sea
