Whale's Lungs Lyrics - Delight

A long time ago 

He used to pull her plaits 

But he wanted more 

The patience is a virtue 

So a white dress 

Flashed before her eyes 

It's like in fairy tales 

A whale on the shore 

Is breathing harsh smoke 

It's like in fairy tales 

He came to take 

What her naivety had 

A stain on the bedclothes 

An envelope with a verdict 

Do whatever you want he said 

It's like in fairy tales 

A whale on the shore 

Is breathing harsh smoke 

It's like in fairy tales 

The wind is blowing 

Behind the window at night 

And the blue whale's body 

Is gliding over the cradle 

I'm living my life...
