Family Of Bones Lyrics - The Roches

These tiny bones, I lay them on my life 

They are you and you and you 

Arranged to be the skeleton of love 

I sit inside them at attention 

Like a dog waiting for its owner to return 

A garbage truck could flatten them into the road 

Or a wind could scatter them apart 

These tiny bones, I lay them on my life 

They are you and you and you 

As fragile as the remnants of a bird 

Without the guts, without the word 

With rain into the gutter, they could flush away 

And there everything I love would go
