Hearts and Bones

[Verse 1] One and one-half wandering Jews Free to wander wherever they choose Are traveling together in the Sangre de Cristo The Blood of Christ mountains of New Mexico [Pre-Chorus] On the last leg of a journey They started a long time ago The arc of a love affair Rainbows in the high desert air [Chorus] Mountain passes slipping into stones Hearts and bones Hearts and bones Hearts and bones [Verse 2] Thinking back to the season before Looking back through the cracks in the door Two people were married, the act was outrageous The bride was contagious, she burned like a bride [Pre-Chorus] These events may have had some effect On the man with the girl by his side The arc of a love affair His hands rolling down her hair [Chorus] Love like lightning shaking 'til it moans Hearts and bones Hearts and bones Hearts and bones [Bridge] And woah-oh-oh, she said, "Why? Why don't we drive through the night And wake up down in Mexico" He said, "Oh, I, I don't know nothin' about, nothin' about no Mexico" "And tell me why, why won't you love me for who I am where I am?" He said, "'Cause that's not the way the world is, baby This is how I love you, baby This is how I love you, baby" [Verse 3] One and one-half wandering Jews Return to their natural coasts To resume old acquaintances and step out occasionally And speculate who had been damaged the most [Pre-Chorus] Easy time will determine if these consolations Will be their reward The arc of a love affair Waiting to be restored [Chorus] You take two bodies and you twirl them into one Their hearts and their bones, and they won't come undone No, they won't come undone Hearts and bones
