Crying Holy
She came to me in an autumn field Somewhere west of here At my feet, she laid a bone down Old and bleached, on the dusty ground
I picked it up and held it close Crows singing, Buffalo thunder ringing out Then, I was running with the herd Along the great divide between two worlds
Chorus: I don't know about the whole But I know tears and bones And all my broken pieces And begging for mercy I'm down on my knees Crying holy
I had my finger on some kind of trigger When I was young I would wake up, wondering how I got there And how I would make it home
And I never wanted to do what they wanted me to I just didn't know any other way And I didn't want to be good I knew It was a survival thing
Chorus: I don't know about the whole But I know tears and bones Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And all my broken pieces And begging for mercy I'm down on my knees Crying holy
I was never meant to Live in the terrified shadows Of all the tired and unrealized lives of the People along my bloodline
But it's good to recognize All those hard places from where we come
We've got to see beyond the horizon And look possibility in the eye
When I'm long dead and gone And all those Crows and those thundering Buffalo Will come rest on top this place She'll come back and lay down my bones
Chorus: I don't know about the whole But I know tears and bones And all my broken pieces And begging for mercy I'm down on my knees Crying holy Crying holy
