The Bone

Under the bird of the prey out back

Whole made of what will not grow back

Still and the born of the loved and lost

Heart hard of stone and mouth of dust

You are the bones sticking in my throat

Damned are the deeds, if you loved you don't

Done of the down on my hand and knee

Swollen of sea and the eyes of me

Swollen of sea and the eyes of me

Made into fire and the things that got

Lost in it till god, his neck broke

Earth sucking down on the ravenswood

Stay of the longer than he would

Into the night of the darkly spoke

He is a kind and the want was woke

Made not a sound as her heart unbroke

He is a kind and the want was woke

He is a kind and the want was woke

Ohhhhhhhh oh eeeee oooooo

Ohhhhhhhh oh eeeee oooooo

And in the cold of the light of day

Baby is gone, but the wolf did stay

Close to the door of the burning out

All of the love, like blood, spilled out

And of the time that has always been

Swollen of sea and the eyes of him

And of the time that will no more be

Swollen of sea and the eyes of me

Swollen of sea and the eyes of me
