lyrics
The beat on the concrete, run
quicken the feet and blood,
Beckon breath to come.
Rattle of bone behind
Off-beat but keeping time,
That net ain’t mine.
While out on the water
a pull on the line,
and I take up from under
The cold, white gleam of bone tied.
On to an empty road
Buildings left long ago
Concrete over-grown
The rattle of bone behind
I’m fading with the light, the light.
Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
Until sleep calls me home, singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says
No Nail rest upon my hand
Took to a Northern land
Built a boat for man
Sailed upon the flood then came back when all was done
But that is only half a lie, half
Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
’til sleep calls me home, I’m singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says
Fecund flesh, I’m breathing deeper this time
Made my arms, thighs stronger
Rooted to the earth I am fine
Made it like I never saw that sea
I feel the answer to all that these bones can be
I feel the answer to all that
Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
Until sleep calls me home, I’m singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says
