[Verse 1]
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
With a flame and a book of signs
You'll never know how hard I've failed
Trying to make up for lost time
Once I believed in things unseen
I was blinded by the dark
Out of the multitude to me
He came and broke my heart

[Chorus 1]
When the dust in the field has flown
And the youngest of hearts has grown
And you doubt you will ever be free
Honey, don't bail on me

[Verse 2]
River is wide and oh so deep
And it winds and winds around
I dream we're happy in my sleep
Floating down and down and down

[Chorus 2]
And the tide rushes by where we stand
And the earth underneath turns to sand
And we're waiting for someone to see
Honey, don't bail on me

[Verse 3]
Tell Ma I loved the man
Even though I turned and ran
Lovely and fine I could have been
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Staying down in the palm of his hand

[Chorus 3]
In the morning you wait for the sun
And secretly hope it won't come
But time washes everyone clean
Buddy now, don't bail on me
Don't bail on me
Don't
Don't bail on me
