Small bones of courage - Aldous Harding @ The 13th floor

We walk alone now, Edo The dogs have broken and turned Feed these words to the wind So they may one day return There's little left for us, Edo Our minds are open and learned Never in your days will you find a pair so burned And we slept with our backs against the weather As we lay on wet stones Before the fire's edge We swore to never eat from those bleeding hands again And we sang the words together in the amber Not a word, little widow, of the man I was before For the only friend that's left is in the night When I cannot find the silver designed to take your life And the shadows are too deep to find the light They do not reach the small bones of courage 'Stead left to the light by the small bones of courage There is a train that moves through the valley Its path is crooked and tied We're told we are but travellers upon its hellish ride But the coal will not burn longer than we will it Still he's robbed of fire by the small bones of courage Scratch down the lace and bare your naked breast unto the sun Let the ghosts scream at the lightning in your eyes Turn all the horses gold, and watch them flee toward the life Where live the guardians of mercy on the mind Led through the fire by the small bones of courage Led through the fire by the small bones of courage There is little left for us, Edo Our minds are open and learned Never in your days will you find a pair so burned And we slept with our backs against the weather Music, Lyrics: Aldous Harding Album: Aldous Harding ST (2014) Original video and interview @ The 13th Floor    • Aldous Harding at The 13th Floor
