Shattered Bones

Shattered Bones
In the Twilight hour
in my Ivory Tower
Staring out across the Sea
I can see the lightning
I can read the writing
I can see what had to be
It had to be
I just cannot understand how you can call yourself a man
And give away your liberty
Lay me down, Lay me down
Go lay these shattered bones
I'm coming home, I'm going home
Go lay these shattered bones
On a lonesome prairie
Under sky blue heavens
Roamed a cowboy refugee
Nowhere left to go, but the Alamo
Just a one man cavalry
To fight the tyranny
Lay me down, Lay me down
Go lay these shattered bones
I'm coming home, I'm going home
Go take these shattered bones
Oh some are born to see the Light.
Oh some are born to Endless Night.
In the Twilight hour,
In my Ivory Tower,
Gazing into an Endless Sea.
Here it comes, the lightning,
I can read the writing
I can see it had to be.
Lay me down , Lay me down
Lay down these shattered bones
I'm coming home, I'm going home
Go lay these shattered bones.
