Only The Bones (Will Show) Lyrics by Deborah Conway

My Third Husband

0

[Verse 1]
Farewell, his heart's in a muddle
The air's too thick, my bones give me trouble
It's too hot, too hot to breathe
The perfect night to take my leave
These bones will be all that's left
To show us the crooked teeth sticking out of the earth
In a hideous road
[Chorus]
Only the bones will show
No one will ever know
Only the bones will show
[Verse 2]
You might thank me (?) a trifle unhealthy
But why should I hang around feeling melancholy
Nothing you say that I could not handle
A drink or two you think would smooth out this mental tangle
Contrary to good opinion
Thesе thoughts of doing myself in
Could only serve to makе us a better place
So put on a happy face
[Chorus]
Only the bones will show
No one will ever know
Only the bones will show
Only the bones
Only the bones
Only the bones
Will show
[Post-Chorus]
Listen to the creek(?)
[Bridge]
We arranged my bones on your mantelpiece
You say "(?) to cool down your heat"
Like a xylophone, my bleached whites will play along
With your song all night
[Chorus]
Only the bones will show
No one will ever know
Only the bones will show
No one will ever know
Only the bones will show
