Your Bones
In the spring we made a boat,Out of feathers, out of bones.We set fire to our homes,Walking barefoot in the snow.
Distant rhythm of the drumAs we drifted towards the storm.Baby lion lost his teeth,Now they're swimming in the sea.
Troubled spirits on my chestWhere they laid to rest.The birds all, left my tall friend,As your body hit the sand.Million stars up in the skyFormed a tiger's eyeThat looked down on my face,Out of time and out of place.
So hold on,Hold on to what we are,Hold on to your heart.
Awaken by the soundOf a screaming owl,Chasing leaves in the wind,Going where we've never been.Said goodbye to you my friendAs the fire spread.All that's left are your bonesThat will soon sink like stones.
