Betrayed By Bones

Oh how could it be?

That tendons bound to bones within my feet

Were bound to believe

That they should move themselves to up and leave

I should say, that I'm sorry

on their behalf

I should say, something funny

but you would not laugh



Oh I didn't see

The steps I took had taken you from me

Where would we be?

If I let myself be swept away to sea

I would cry out to tell you

But you'd not be there

I would cry out to tell you

But you wouldn't care



I could lead a stationary life

and you will see

My love is carried to you by my feet

My bones are wrong

Sometimes, sometimes bones are wrong



I know, I'm not leaving

I know, I believe it



Oh how could it be?

These teeny little things within your knees

Bring you to me

And they can keep on moving when you sleep



I know I'm not leaving

you all alone

I know, I believe it

and so do my bones

and so do my bones



I could lead a stationary life

and you will see

you'll believe my love is carried to you by my feet

my bones are wrong

sometimes, sometimes bones are wrong
