Madeleine Peyroux - Bare Bones lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I remember what my daddy taught me<br>

'Bout how one risky is in a cold ditch<br>

And one more thing about good and evil<br>

You can't tell which is which<br>

<br>

Well, if the rest is lost and history<br>

Or maybe wasted on a fool like me<br>

And that these bare bones<br>

Would leave me something after all<br>

<br>

Old Hamlet's done now, dead and gone<br>

And there's no ghost who walks<br>

Poor ? tells you everything he knows<br>

With no tongue to talk<br>

<br>

It seems the truth is hidden where the sun don't shine<br>

And I'm never certain if it's their's or mine<br>

It's just the bare bones<br>

They give you that much after all<br>

<br>

They preached the gospel down in ?<br>

They preached it in school<br>

It never made much sense to me<br>

Wonder if it was supposed to<br>

<br>

You go on down a millionaires road<br>

Watch a while, tell me what do you see<br>

The truth itself, nothing but a gamble<br>

It might or might not set you free<br>

<br>

I guess, my old man was hard to read<br>

And I don't really know what I believed<br>

But in these bare bones<br>

There's something lovely after all<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
