Rattlin' Bones Lyrics - Rattlin' Bones - Kasey Chambers

Smoke don't rise, fuel don't burn 

Sun don't shine no more 

Late one night, sorrow come round 

Scratching at my door 

But I cut my hands and break my back 

Dragging this bag of stones 

Till they bury me down beneath the ground 

With the dust and rattling bones 

Left my home and left my love 

Caught on a rusty nail 

Devil rose up heavy with gold 

My soul's not for sale 

Then a holy man in a house of God 

He offered me a book of prayer 

But when I left my home and I left my love 

Left my faith back there 

Smoke don't rise, fuel don't burn 

Sun don't shine no more 

Late one night, sorrow come round 

Scratching at my door 

But I cut my hands and break my back 

Dragging this bag of stones 

Till they bury me down beneath the ground 

With the dust and rattling bones 

Shut my eyes and hang my head 

Darkness makes no sound 

Climb it up, bottom there 

Earth's on the way back down 

When a sadness falls on the morning bird 

Wonder what the day will bring 

But I shut my eyes and hang my head 

At least that bird can sing 

Smoke don't rise, fuel don't burn 

Sun don't shine no more 

Late one night, sorrow come round 

Scratching at my door 

But I cut my hands and break my back 

Dragging this bag of stones 

Till they bury me down beneath the ground 

With the dust and rattling bones 

Till they bury me down beneath the ground 

With the dust and rattling bones
