Weary Bones
Elizabeth Moen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh they're tired (tired)
Tired of being alone
Weary bones
Oh could you give mine (give mine)
Give mine a home
Put them in your bed
Watch the moon drift down the sky
We can drift away too, into dreams of me and you
And not worry about yours or my
Weary Bones
Oh they're tired (tired)
Tired of being alone
Weary bones
Oh could you give mine (give mine)
Give mine a home
Hold them in yours behind rusted, closed doors
And watch the stars float on by
And we can float into space and watch the past be erased
Not worry about yours or my
Weary Bones
Oh they're tired (tired)
Tired of being alone
Weary bones
Oh could you give mine (give mine)
Give mine a home
Let your heavy eyelids drift down
Float away
A place to rest my soul in you I have found
Oh so please stay forever in my
Weary bones
Oh well they're tired (tired)
Tired of being alone
