Bruce Springsteen – Swallowed Up (In The Belly Of The Whale) lyrics
I feel asleep on a dark and starlit sea
With nothing but the cloak of god's mercy over me
I come upon strange earth and a great black cave

We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world
We've beenswallowed up

The bones of sailors from the north
And sailors from the east
Lay high in a pyre in the belly of a beast
A beast should you wander in its
Path upon your ship and your flesh he'll sup
You'll disappear from this world until
You've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up

We trusted our skills and our good sails
Our faith that with god the righteous
In this world prevail

But we've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up
