kt tunstall - shanty of the whale lyrics

Loading...

there’s a jar of salt water, sits behind my eyes.
if i tip to far over, you’ll see it’s no lie
it’s been there as long as i remember myself
and trickles a little, when i’m by myself

i wove a great story, to tell all who’d hear
of murder and theft, and a message so clear
if for all of the glory, your heart is the cost
that jar of salt water, will be shattered and lost

but a foul wind was blowing, so mean and so still
stirring the fate, to make real of my tale
and i like a boat, on a langourous sea
was blind to the dangers, that hankered for me

the killer, he hooked me, and reeled me in
i looked in his eyes and saw nothing within
as soon as i saw him, i knew i would die
two moonless black oceans, in sockets bone dry

my bones for the doorframe, my skull for the wall
a loft on a placard, on a prominent wall
my skin for a blanket, to scare winds so wild
my heart on the table, my teeth for the child

but what if the water, salt secrets i held
unkindly discovered, as here i tell
i see through the walls, so i’ll sing it myself
my salt water sits, in a jar on the shelf
