The Crane Wives - Safe Ship, Harbored Lyrics

The Crane Wives Lyrics

"Safe Ship, Harbored"

Watch me give up, honey, watch me give up
I swore I never would
What we've been wishing upon ourselves
Things that I forgot I cannot do

Where does your faith fall?
Where does your faith fall in me?
Don't break the bottle
Don't waste your blessings on me

I am a safe ship, harbored
A safe ship, harbored
Losing all of my good years to the shallow water
I ain't proud
I ain't proud
I wasn't born a safe ship
Something wore me down

All the places, honey, all the places
I'll never get to see
I'll always wonder what's across the tossing ocean
The world I'm at looks really flat to me

Where does your faith fall?
Where does your faith fall in me?
Don't break the bottle
Don't waste your blessings on me

I am a safe ship, harbored
A safe ship, harbored
Losing all of my good years to the shallow water
I ain't proud
I ain't proud
I wasn't born a safe ship
Something wore me down

(Oooh, Oh-o-oh)
(Oooh, Oh-o-oh)
(Oooh, Oh-o-oh)
(Oooh, Oh-o-oh)

Where does your faith fall?
Where does your faith fall in me?
Don't break the bottle
Don't waste your blessings on me

Where does your faith fall?
Where does your faith fall in me?
Don't break the bottle
Don't waste your blessings on me

I am a safe ship, harbored
A safe ship, harbored
Losing all of my good years to the shallow water
I ain't proud
I ain't proud
I wasn't born a safe ship
Someone wore me

I am a safe ship, harbored
A safe ship, harbored
Losing all of my good years to the shallow water
I ain't proud
I ain't proud
I wasn't born a safe ship
Someone wore me down
