Skin and Bones

Tracing up the back of your neck
 Hands upon your crown
 The leaves, the birds all murmuring
 The drifting summer sounds
 Through the screen a hawk is holding high over the peaks
 Then you'll finally turn and smile and give your mind to me
 Every breath is like a burst as day sings down the dark
 The creek will not be quiet, begging us to go too far
 We're close, so close
 We're nose to nose
 Your voice is low
 My love, each note
 We kill the cold without our clothes
 It's you and me in skin and bones
 I want you to be with me when we figure out what's real
 The ones inside who cannot manufacture what they feel
 I want you to be with me when we find out who is fake
 The records we should listen to, the ones to throw away
 I want you to be with when you know that I am wrong
 I want you to be with me through the stoves(?) of summer stones
 We're close, so close
 We're nose to nose
 Your voice is low
 My love, each note
 We kill the cold without our clothes
 It's you and me in skin and bones
 Skin and bones
 Skin and bones
 Skin and bones
 Skin and bones
 We can breathe mistakes
 We can still bleed hope
 All yours, all mine, all folds are always open
 When a winter's break hasn't seen first light
 All yours, all mine, all folds
 Our eyes will raise the dawn
 The humming wings out from the field
 Seems nothing can hold back
 Tracing down your shoulders as they rise and then collapse
 Every breath is like our first
 As day sings down the dark
 The creek will not be quiet, begging us to go too far
 We're close, so close
 We're nose to nose
 Your voice is low
 My love, each note
 We kill the cold without our clothes
 It's you and me in skin and bones
 Skin and bones
 Skin and bones
 Skin and bones
 Skin and bones
