Skeleton Woman

Old bones don\'t sleep

Old bones don\'t sleep

Old bones don\'t sleep

They yearn to be once again dressed

In the tears we weep

In the tears we weep

In the tears we weep

She remembered the sun

from the world long ago

In the time before darkness

and wander

She soon become bone

from the fish and the foam

In the fullness of time

we forgot her

Old bones don\'t sleep

Old bones don\'t sleep

Old bones don\'t sleep

They yearn to be once again dressed

In the tears we weep

In the tears we weep

In the tears we weep

A fisherman\'s line through

a hole in the ice

Caught the strangest of fish

where she drifted

Salvation came down

from the world far above

And the skeleton woman

was lifted

She buried her teeth

in the hem of his coat

As the fisherman tried

to run past her

In terror he fled

through the deepening gloom

With the rattle of bones

chasing after

Old bones don\'t sleep

Old bones don\'t sleep

Old bones don\'t sleep

They yearn to be once again dressed

In the tears we weep

In the tears we weep

In the tears we weep

He cowered all night

through the wind\'s longing howl

From the monster he\'d led

to his home

But dawn showed the man

that the creature he feared

was twine all entangled

in bone

In pity he wept

and the tears trickled down

From his eyes to the bones

he regarded

From their heat she wove life

and a young woman\'s form

with a cry was her silence

discarded

After ages uncounted

of patience and hope

was the skeleton woman

rewarded

Old bones don\'t sleep

Old bones don\'t sleep

Old bones don\'t sleep

They yearn to be once again dressed

In the tears we weep

In the tears we weep

In the tears we weep
