Elbow - The Blanket Of Night Lyrics
Paper cup of the boat
Heaving chest of the sea
Carry both of us
Carry her, carry me
To the land of the free
Carry both of us
Carry her, carry me
The ocean
That bears us from our home
Could save us
Or take us for its own
The danger
That life should lead us here
Could I have steered us clear?
Gone, the light from her eyes
With the lives that we made
Just the two of us
In the night on the waves
Moving silent her lips
By the moon's only light
Sowing silver prayers
In the blanket of night
The ocean
That bears us from our home
Could save us
Or take us for its own
The danger
That life should lead us here
My angel
Could I have steered us clear?
Paper cup of the boat
Heaving chest of the sea
Carry both of us
Or, swallow her, swallow me

Elbow The Blanket Of Night Comments
I heard this years ago. Nice song.
A bansky exposition brought me here 🎈
I absolutely love this song it's got such beautiful instrumental, too bad it isn't as popular

Another person here from Limitless. Love that show!
7 people that disliked have no soul
Still sad they canceled Limitless
This song transmit *limitless* feelings
Swallow me. . . .
Heard this song on an episode of the TV show LIMITLESS. Had to look it up! Sounds so smooth and dark.
My friend who watches Limitless recommended the song... so it's still Limitless... just indirectly... yeah

paper cup OF the boat - as in frail vessel
This. Another reason not to want to ever die.
Since all art is objective, I have decided that this song, for me at least, is dedicated to the lost souls of the sea who have tried to immigrate to a better place for themselves. I don't pray, but I pray for all
Limitless💥
Limitless 😂
