Della Mae Like Bones
Early in the morning
Before you leave
Just before dawn
Just after a dream
Our eyes barely open
Legs tangled in sheets
I’ve never felt love so tenderly
We lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness and let the time pass
Like a stream
Till it turns us back to bone
Your heart it is beating
a rhythm so slow
I'd stay here forever
if you didn't go
Let you rock me to sleep
on your chest where I lay
Let the light of the morning
come in through the shades
We lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness and let the time pass
Like a stream
Till it turns us back to bone
As we lie between
asleep and awake
I'll wait 'till the moment
when the dream has to break.
I'll love you the same as when the sun dies
but the truest moment
is when she does rise!
We lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness and let the time pass
Like a stream
Till it turns us back to bone
