Terra Naomi - FLESH FOR BONES lyrics

rate me

I’m sitting here frozen in this bed I made

Considering the weight of the bricks I laid now that I’m

through

One by one sealed every crack that I could slip between to find

my way back

Find my way back home to you

And I’m burning all my bridges

with these matches I light

To illuminate my path to what is right

And even if it’s true what they say

that you can’t go back home

once you’ve cast it away

I would still have left tonight

You know baby I would be with you if I could

To trade my flesh for your bones

I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…

I carry with me on my way

All the ghosts of all the love

that I let slip away

The heavy weight of promises made

That if I could exonerate

I might just lift off today

And I’m burning all my bridges

with these matches I light

To illuminate my path to what is right

And even if it’s true what they say

that you can’t go back home

once you’ve cast it away

I would still have left tonight

You know baby I would be with you if I could

To trade my flesh for your bones

I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…

I chased your memory from my mind

But every song I write is just a wish to find you, near or

far

Through all the tears and all the time

That I been running blind

I still ain’t got to where you are

And I’m burning all my bridges

with these matches I light

To illuminate my path to what is right

And even if it’s true what they say

that you can’t go back home

once you’ve cast it away

I would still have left tonight

You know baby I would be with you if I could

To trade my flesh for your bones

I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…
