Lyrics
Tale of Jonah
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take these promises and walk to the beaten shore
A strangers handshake as cold as the sea below
When i was given more than i could afford
I ran away I ran away
And I once was king of the world
But now live inside of a whale
And I once was king of the world
Raging waters they will come when we least will know
A sleeping giant awakes as I look ashore
Can we erase the future just let it swim overboard
Cause I ran away I ran away
So can we erase the future just let it swim overboard
If i was to die tomorrow to live with more than i need
You're coming with me
And I once was king of the world
But now live inside of a whale
And i thought i ran the world
But I'm lost without You
