[Verse 1]

I came down over the sleepy mountains where our

Wide toes plunged into the weeping shale to tear our

Skin up off from the bottom leaves our ankles bare

Don't just wander back and forth and leave it

[Verse 2]

Build it into pinnacles and shrines of some

Some ghastly predicament of mine you'll find

Leaves us plastered to a bed of hairs with

Me all coiled up near the bottom with my chest un-bared

[Chorus]

Oh, but dear, the sky is low

Gather up its harm in gauze with grateful arms

Oh, but dear, the sky is low

Gather up its harm in gauze with grateful arms

[Verse 3]

Oh, but dear, the sky is low, watch

Fluent sea men rig their rudders so they'll

Graze it with their wind arrows

'Tis in the fathoms that-that they brush below-low

[Bridge]

Oh, my dreams come back to me

Back to me, back to

Oh, my wrinkles build on me

Build on me, build on

[Chorus]

Oh, but dear, the sky is low

Gather up its harm in gauze with grateful arms

Oh, but dear, the sky is low

Gather up its harm in gauze with grateful arms
