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 going 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 a line

and hung me out to dry

and darling that's when i

decided to go to see you

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

ooh. 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

oh 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
