Rattling Bone Lyrics - Iron & Wine

A skull and a jewel on a wooden cane 

A rattling bone on a boat, on the waves you sail away 

I will lay awake 'til all your power's gone 

Whippin' the pig 'til it broke the gate 

A table and chair by the creek though his house was washed away 

I will lay awake 'til all your power's gone 

God is asleep in the bed we made 

Suckling bitch on the porch, and no stick might draw away 

I will lay awake 'til all your power's gone 

Love in the shape of the close of day 

Kissin' the face in a dream that i thought i tossed away 

I will lay awake 'til all your power's gone 

Hobble and wade in the love we gave 

Passing your lip from the wine that we raised then threw away 

I will lay awake 'til all your power's gone

Chuckling lamb by the anchor weight 

Shuddering wolf on a ship, on the waves you sail away 

I will lay awake 'til all your power's gone
