Lyrics

Bonedigger

[Intro]

One, two, three, four

[Chorus]

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

[Verse 1]

I am the child of many countries

Many changing lands

Many shifting sands

I am the fruit of several trees

Being born to man

By a million hands

Playing do what you can

[Chorus]

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

[Verse 2]

My story sung by a thousand tongues

I'm a braided stream

I'm a waking dream

I am the breath of a thousand lungs

Where the mountains gleam

And the marsh is deep

In the old regime

[Chorus]

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

[Post-Chorus]

You're the change in the weather

You're the wing to my feather

At the end of my tether

You piece me together

Diggerbone

[Verse 3]

I am the tale with a million men

From an empty throne

To a conflict zone

On the turn of a word in your defence

When your cover’s blown

And the birds have flown

And your fate’s unknown

[Chorus]

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

Bone-digger-bone, digger

Diggerbone

[Post-Chorus]

You're the change in the weather

You're the wing to my feather

Oh, at the end of my tether

You piece me together

Diggerbone
