lyrics

Lay Across My Bones © 2022 Susan Turner, Mark Evans

The words that you said, hung beneath the sky
You’re staring straight back at me and it's impossible to move
So I hold my breath
In this barrenness
And all its emptiness
It's fragile and delicate

You push against me, against every piece of my clothing
So close it gets harder to breathe, I could be somewhere else
There is no escape
When the wind turns
It can't stop, it can't rest, it can't hide

You’re wrapped around me with an inch and a half of space
Lay across my bones
The wind and the salt and the rain blows across Dungeness
Lay across my bones

I cant get past you with my arms outstretched
Someone tell us what to do in this lonely place
When you have to run
And you can't catch up
And its not enough
If it's what I've done
And I’m bound to you
And I’m on your side
But I’m out of breath
And I’m out of time

You’re wrapped around me with an inch and a half of space
Lay across my bones
The wind and the salt and the rain blows across Dungeness
Lay across my bones
Lay across my bones

So I hold my breath
In this barrenness
And all its emptiness
It's fragile and delicate
There is no escape
When the wind turns
It can't stop, it can't rest, it can't hide

You’re wrapped around me with an inch and a half of space
Lay across my bones
The wind and the salt and the rain blows across Dungeness
Lay across my bones
Lay across my bones Lay across my bones
Lay across my bones Lay across my bones

We turn away, turn away at the same time
