Bone Dry

lyrics

Bone Dry

Someone said that you have gone bone dry
There is not a thing can make you cry
You can sail a painted ship across a silver sea
And bring it home without a thought of me

Up all night, waiting for the rain
I might have to dance that dance again
Shake my fist into the sun
And beat my feet across
The barren face of everything I’ve lost

Whosoever built this paradise
Forgot to put the light behind your eyes
You can sail a painted ship across a silver sea
And bring it home without a thought of me

If I live to see the light of dawn
I hope that when I wake you will be gone
Then I will slip my painted feet
Into my painted shoes
And walk away, bone dry just like you
Walk away, bone dry just like you
