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 drum

As we drifted towards the storm

Baby lion lost his teeth

now they're swimming in the sea

Troubled spirits on my chest

Where they laid to rest

The birds all left, my tall friend

As your body hit the sand

Million stars up in the sky

Formed a tigers eye

That 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

Awakened by the sound

Of a screaming owl

Chasing leaves in the wind

Going where we've never been

Said goodbye to you, my friend

As the fire spread

All that's left are your bones

That will soon sink like stones

So hold on

Hold on to what we are

Hold on to your heart
