Skeleton Woman

Song: Skeleton Woman Artist: Heather Dale Album: Fairytale *LYRICS* 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, In the tears we weep, She remembered the sun form the world long ago, in the time before darkness and water. She soon became 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, In the tears we weep, A fisherman's line through a hole in the ice, caught the strangest of fish where it drifted. Salvation came down from a world far above and the skeleton woman was lifted. She buried her teeth in the hem of his coat as the fisher man tried to run past her. In terror he fled in 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, In the tears we weep, He cowered all night through the winds longing howl from the monster he'd lead 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, In the tears we weep, 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, In the tears we weep,
