Riff 1 = D - C - A
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
When the dust in the field has flown,
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
And you doubt you will ever be free,
Riff1 Riff1
Don't bail on me
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
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
And we're waiting for someone to see,
Riff1 Riff1
Don't bail on me
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
In the morning you wait for the sun,
And secretly hope it won't come,
But time washes everyone clean,
Riff1
Honey now, don't bail on me
Riff1 Riff1
Don't bail on me
Riff1 Riff1
Don't bail on me
