Bone of Sailor, Bone of Bird - The Low Anthem

Dust was only flakes of skin

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Sand was only skeleton

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Silica and soda ash

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Smelted into bottled glass

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Gliding on her wavy skin

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Throwing bottle back again

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Pounded in the crushing surf

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Bottle round and granular

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Shaped in shops that separate

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

In a soap dish mold I wait

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Dust was only flakes of skin

Bone of sailor, bone of bird

Sand was only skeleton

Bone of sailor, bone of bird
