Old Bones Lyrics by Wild Hands

oh, river

2014

I haven't worn these old shoes in a while
It's been a few years
I can't seem to throw away the past
I hold on to it for you dear

And I wonder what you're after
Why it keeps falling apart
And I wonder what you're doing
To stay young at heart

I haven't put this bare foot down to earth
Its been a long time
This pair of new shoes will carry me soon
Then i'll start a new

And I wonder what you're after
Why it keeps falling apart
And I wonder what you're doing
To stay young at heart

Leaves keep on growing
They are falling off the trees
I am getting older
I am dying as I sing

Someday soon I'll have old bones
Someday soon I'll rule this world
Someday soon I'll have old bones too
Someday soon I'll rule this world

These old shoes are sad...but optimistic

Leaves keep on growing
They are falling off the trees
I am getting older
I am dying as I sing

Someday soon I'll have old bones
Someday soon I'll rule this world
Someday soon I'll have old bones too
Someday soon I'll rule this world...too
