Lay down your bones

Babe, Ive been staring these walls

Crack back like fists

Punching holes through my dreams

Outside, the streets have gone mad

Young widows in red

Handing out bones

Laugh like a carnival

The wind freezes rain

But the crowd still waltzes

They shovel the ice

But the dirt is too old

So they dance till the fire

From the sun turns the ice

To water

They fill up their skins

The music it plays

Widows in time

Turn the water to wine

The bones started dancing

I jumped from my dream

And into the fire

Didnt think about you

Or the burn in my soul

I just let go

Faceless emerald eyes smiled

A thousand voices cried

I fell to the ground

I could not get up

Until you helped me

You showed me the dance

Just give it a chance

But I just stood there

Lay down your bones

The clouds spread like feathers

Tickled the wind

Church bells tolled

The wind set my back

Over the town square

And still those emerald eyes smile

A thousand voices cried

And all the widows and bones

Mortar and stone

Took turns leading me

I reached out my hand

But kept my eyes closed

I could feel your heart strength

I started to shake

And you stood there

Holding me

Lay your bones down
