One Day

One day the waves will forget the ocean And wander their way up to the shore One day the moon will quit being the watchman Forget just who she's shining for Oh these bones will carry me home One day these mountains will tire of standing Drop their shoulders into the sand One day the wind will give up its last breath Go drifting off to some promised land Oh these bones will carry me home One day the fire will give up its ashes And weave their way through the open air One day the rain will cover us up, darlin We'll drink and dance like there's no one there One day the winter will give up its shaking And lay itself by an open flame One day the stars will stop flickering off On and off and on and off On and off and on again
