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 tiger's 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 La, la, la, la-la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la 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 La, la, la, la-la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la So hold on Hold on to your heart
