Feathers, Bones And Shells Lyrics - Beth Nielsen Chapman

The sound of my heart is ancient and true 

And it sings like a thousand bells 

For sorrow and grace, for my love of you 

The feathers, the bones and the shells 

I try to believe wherever you are 

There's a sky and a sea of blue 

And someone you trust whose sheltering arms 

Have finally comforted you 

The touch of your hand still lives in my skin 

While a shadow I can't embrace 

Wherever it ends is where it begins 

Without ever leaving a trace 

So you live in me and I live in you 

And the rest is for love to tell 

That nothing escapes the wind blowing through 

The feathers, the bones and the shells
