Bones

Earth is full of bones Every shape and size Chief's horse fell right there by the river And then he lost his bride Snakes shed all their skin Owl hunts at night Coyotes dance around in a circle and sing with all their might Oh, wait for me Oh wait for me He never stops to rest He's always hanging round There's no place on earth you can run to That you will not be found Earth receives her dead Like arms around a womb Some dressed up in fancy boxes Some can't afford a tomb Oh, wait for me Oh wait for me Oh wait for me Oh, wait for me The sun will bleach the bones That never make it down Legs of deer beside their antlers scattered on the ground Babies wait inside Mother til it's time Lonesome folks stretch out there hands Crying Please don't leave me behind Oh, wait for me Oh, wait for me Oh wait for me Oh wait for me Wait for me Oh, wait for me The earth is full of bones
