Feathers & Bones - The Clarks

She sang like a bird, high on a wire

At every chance, soulful as she could

And the words she chose where driven with such passion

But sadly, I never understood

She sang of God, but cursed like a sailor

Had manners of a queen, but grew up poor

With her broken mind she’d stare with no reaction

She didn’t know her name, or mine, or yours

Hey, hey, hey

Flying around this place

Those days are lost in space

Time goes, you know I know

That all that’s left are feathers and bones

Many years can bring you all the wisdom

Many years of memories all compiled

Was cruel to have to watch her heart grow older

While the rest of her turned back into a child

Hey, hey, hey

Flying around this place

Those days are lost in space

Time goes, you know I know

'Cause all that’s left are feathers and bones

Hey, hey, hey

Scared and lost inside

Like a black hole in your mind

Sing low, I’m letting you go

And all that’s left are feathers and bones

She sang like a bird, down to the wire

My love, I hope she understood

Hey, hey, hey

Flying around this place

Those days are lost in space

Time goes, you know I know

'Cause all that’s left are feathers and bones

Hey, hey, hey

Scared and lost inside

Like a black hole in your mind

Sing low, sing low

'Cause all that’s left are feathers and bones

all that’s left are feathers and bones

all that’s left are feathers and bones
