Family Of Bones Lyrics

These tiny bones, I lay them on my life

They are you and you and you

Arranged to be the skeleton of love

I sit inside them at attention

Like a dog waiting for its owner to return

A garbage truck could flatten them into the road

Or a wind could scatter them apart

These tiny bones, I lay them on my life

They are you and you and youRoches - Family Of Bones - http://motolyrics.com/roches/family-of-bones-lyrics.html

As fragile as the remnants of a bird

Without the guts, without the word

With rain into the gutter, they could flush away

And there everything I love would go

These pearl bones, I wish they could be safe

So few, so few

Hung together with a thin string or something

A family of bones
