Laura Marling – The Captain and the Hourglass Lyrics 17 years ago
The Song Book says

"You kicked the blow, now you've got to kick the guy
You sat alone, under bellowing sky

If I feel God judging me, I fell into the water
And now I'm free"

The rest is accurate. I think the first line is referring to defence then attack because the song is about a captain weary of experience or something. Bellowing - windy and noisy makes more sense than billowing.
