Wishbone

Rachael Sage · Chandelier [2008]

When I was a queen in another life

Remember when I fell to my knees and asked you to be my wife

Everybody danced, how they laughed and sang

Everybody wanted to be there when those great bells rang



When I was a weed, when I was dandelion

I was always blowin' away into the great grey sky

How I was I to know you were the grassy gound

You were just waitin' for me to finally come around



Butterfly's crawling on the concrete lawn

Telling me to love you if I'm gonna be strong

Everything around me is an empty chair

Don't know where I'm going 'less you're there

Phoenix is flyin' in a fiery sky

Tellin' me to love you 'til the day that I day

Everything around me is an old wishbone

Doesn't matter who says, you're my home

When I was alone 'fore I was alive with you

How I was adrift on an ocean only one shade of blue

But now I am asail in a Claude Monet

Now I am ablaze with the glory of this gracious day



Butterfly's crawling on the concrete lawn

Telling me to love you if I'm gonna be strong

Everything around me is an empty chair

Don't know where I'm going 'less you're there

Phoenix is flyin' in a fiery sky

Tellin' me to love you 'til the day that I day

Everything around me is an old wishbone

Doesn't matter who says, you're my home



I don't wanna be, be without you



Phoenix is flyin' in a fiery sky

Tellin' me to love you 'til the day that I day

Everything around me is an old wishbone

Doesn't matter who says, you're my home... you're mine
