Feathers & Bones-The Clarks

She sang like a bird, high on a wire At every chance, soulful as she could And the words she chose where driven with such passion But sadly, I never understood She sang of God, but cursed like a sailor Had manners of a queen, but grew up poor With her broken mind she'd stare with no reaction She didn't know her name, or mine, or yours Hey, hey, hey Flying around this place Those days are lost in space Time goes, you know I know That all that's left are feathers and bones Many years can bring you all the wisdom Many years of memories all compiled Was cruel to have to watch her heart grow older While the rest of her turned back into a child Hey, hey, hey Flying around this place Those days are lost in space Time goes, you know I know 'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones Hey, hey, hey Scared and lost inside Like a black hole in your mind Sing low, I'm letting you go And all that's left are feathers and bones She sang like a bird, down to the wire My love, I hope she understood Hey, hey, hey Flying around this place Those days are lost in space Time goes, you know I know 'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones Hey, hey, hey Scared and lost inside Like a black hole in your mind Sing low, sing low 'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones all that's left are feathers and bones all that's left are feathers and bones
