Beautiful Bones - Andrew Austin

We leave you in the care of the lions.

Void of any emotion we walk away

Studied in the science of silence, you know what we wanted without us saying

I can see your breath in the midnight air

I will try to hold it before it disappears

Down to your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted

From your tips to your toes

Down to your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted

Why don’t you love me like you loved me

Alchemy of gold, in your hands

You lit up like a burning schoolhouse

But you let it go out in your hands

Down to your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted ‘Til all the ships come home

To your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted Until you turn the light on

All your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted

Another night in the city without sleep

Another night I went swimming out too deep

Sinking down to your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep me delighted from your tips to you toes

Down to your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted Til all the ships come home

All your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted Until you turn the light on

Down to your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted Til all the ships come home

All your beautiful bones.

You ever owned

Keep them delighted Until you turn the light on
