Joanna Newsom - Only Skin lyrics

rate me

Mes amis, we are restless things Little seaweed are swaddling And you call upon the dusk Of the musk of the squid Shot full of ink, until you sink Into your crib Show me the house Upon the hill Where you were living Fireplace was stoked The cupboard stocked Full of provision And the grandfather clock Upon the wall Told us the time And then came a sound Love had to drown Love, were you dying? Oh was the fire moved away Fire moved away son? Why whould you say I was the last one? Scrub your knee, there's only skin Makes a sound of violins And you call upon the dusk Of the musk of the squid Shot full of ink until you sink Into your crib Show me the house Upon the hill Where you were living Fireplace was stoked The cupboard stocked Full of provisions And the grandfather clock Upon the wall Told us the time And then came a sound Love had to count On you dying Oh was the fire moved away? Fire, it moves away, son Oh, why would you say I was the last one? Milkymoon All my bones they are gone, gone, gone All my bones they are gone, gone, gone All my bones they are gone, gone, gone
