Select language to translate this lyric
Pulling down phone lines bending weather vanes
Unmaking anything Iâve made
Sitting by your bedside barely awake
Stealing the last thing to my name
Everything I want, everything I own
Lies engraved in my motherâs stone
She was looking for more land to explore
A boat upstream with no oars
I swim along to make amends
Going on and on about my fatherâs end
Great things come when a man is undone
A wife canât knit quick enough to keep her son
Under wraps, strings attached, a current growing strong
Under the oceanâs where we belong
Iâve been fetching water for elephants
The days pass but they graze the same
My mother grows weary but stays quite contempt
Sheâs been digging up her own grave
She had a life in that tiny town
But those days are buried underground
Growing up strong, staying quietly alarmed
Love always loses its charm
Great things come when a man is undone
A wife canât knit quick enough to keep her son
Under wraps, strings attached, a current growing strong
Under the oceanâs where we belong
Youâre trapped on your tiny bottled raft
Kept safe
Trapped on your tiny bottled raft
Kept safe in the world behind the glass
Great things come when a man is undone
A wife canât knit quick enough to keep their love
In a land where thereâs no telling whatâs right or wrong
Above the clouds is where we belong
Great things come when a man is undone
A wife canât knit quick enough to keep her son
Under wraps, strings attached, a current growing strong
Under the oceanâs where we belong
