Healing Bones

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm walking forward down this ribbon of dust 'Cause where else can I go You and 40 acres of topsoil land Were all I ever wanted to know It may be selective memory But it was mine one time and it's my memory to keep Tonight from miles away before I sleep I'll smell something cooking on that stove [Chorus 1] Slow down this traveller and bring him home Take me back in that field alone Hold me up against your healing bones [Verse 2] I couldn't see the meaning in it when I was there And it's so clear to me know What we'd been building for so many years Ends at the sharp edge of a plow You couldn't read my face, you had your back to me I watched the unbelievable symmetry You got away and I never thought you'd leave And it's turned me inside out [Chorus 2] Slow down this traveller and all the unknowns Take me back in that field alone Hold me up against your healing bones [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] I've heard it all about what I should do It's all just doomed to fail Worked in the city twelve floors up It's just a lot of air getting stale In darkness one night I was so confused I thought I could make out your form as it moved Maybe it's better to face up to the truth But still I leave an obvious trail so you can [Chorus 1] Slow down this traveller and bring him home Take me out in that field alone Hold me up against your healing bones Hold me up against your healing bones Hold me up against your healing bones
