Dead As A Dead Man’s Bones Lyrics by Paper Bird

A Sky Underground

0

Now if the wind blow o'er the plains and the prairie
Knocking you off of your horse
Just hear in the pit of your soul "don't grow weary"
The shadow of an echo of a curse
And oh, how the skies they bless your intentions
And otherwise shave your resolve
The crossing is long, be you humble or tall
The castle's not far in the distance
No, you won't be bothered
No, you won't be ushered forth and away
If ever you're weary, cold tired as stone
Dead as a dead man's bones
Just pick up your laces, your belt and your collar
Approach the queen's youngest daughter and
Ask her with eyes low, your hands at your sides for
Shelter, for someone to love
She in her red gown is bound to approve of
Your rags and your arms open wide
No, you won't be bothered
No, you won't be ushered forth and away
Leave some light in the night and come find me there
Beneath the leaves and the limb
Leave some dark in the dawn and bury me there
In a robe of gold-green and a grin
