Wobbly Bones Lyrics - Singles - Chris Velan

The last time I saw you, you were lying on a bed 

With bracelets on your wrist and a hole through your head 

Your eyes open looking straight at me 

As if you still had something to see 

The last time I saw you, you were running for your life 

No child in your arms and no sign of your wife 

Your mouth open in the strangest way 

Like you're searching for the words to say 

Take these wobbly bones 

Break them with stones 

Here is my skin it keeps it all in 

Far under my clothes 

The blood still flows 

To ten fingers and ten toes 

Ten fingers and toes 

Ten fingers and toes 

Count them on your ten fingers and toes 

The last time I saw you, you were buried in the sand 

A crater in the place where your home used to stand 

Your arms twisted reaching up to the sky 

Asking for the answer why 

And the last time I saw you all the soldiers had arrived 

They lined you up along with the rest that survived 

You dropped to your knees and you started to pray 

Never stopping when they dragged you away 

Take these wobbly bones 

Break them with stones 

Here is my skin it keeps it all in 

Far under my clothes 

The blood still flows 

To ten fingers and ten toes 

Ten fingers and toes 

Ten fingers and toes 

Count them on your ten fingers and toes 

The last time I saw you, you were nowhere to be seen 

They painted the walls scrubbed the floor squeaky clean 

I haven't seen you since, I won't see you for sure 

'Cause no one's going to knock on your door 

And you don't have a name anymore 

And no one's going to knock on your door 

'Cause you don't have a name anymore 

Take these wobbly bones 

Break them with stones 

Here is my skin it keeps it all in 

Far under my clothes 

The blood still flows 

To ten fingers and ten toes 

Ten fingers and toes 

Ten fingers and toes 

Count them on your ten fingers and toes
