Veil The Bone Lyrics - Singles - Jill Ledet

So you had a lot to say 

Another week has gone by 

Dusty streetlights hang to greet you, 

I could have the dark, my heart like wine... 

So tell me babe when the firelight starts smokn 

Where does the air come from 

You were careless when the words were like 

Shattered glass ripping me to pieces 

(Chorus) 

Veil the bone 

Tie me in chains 

You do it so well 

I'm breakn free 

From this hell 

It's like I'm flying on a wing 

Walking on a leg 

Seeing with an eye 

Writing with a finger 

There you are to greet me with a smile 

Swimming in me 51 laps 

Get up towel yourself off 

And walk away leaving salt drops 

I'm all over you now 

But you come back for more 

(Chorus) 

Veil the bone 

Tie me in chains 

You do it so well 

I'm breakn free 

From this hell 

All in a day feels like a year 

Yeah you once bought me roses 

You once called me love 

You painted me a garden 

You had me at hello 

I said seize it 

Freeze it 

Just curtail it 

Cause I know just 

Where it went on snow hill 

(Chorus) 

Veil the bone 

Tie me in chains 

You do it so well 

I'm breakin free 

From this hell 

When you need me 

You're so accomodating 

But I had to get back 

On the main road 

Cause my car is an island 

With water rising 

You had me alone and 

All at once 

I cradled your face 

That turned to skeleton bone 

(Chorus) 

Veil the bone 

Tie me in chains 

You do it so well 

I'm breakn free 

From this hell 

You had me alone and 

All at once 

I cradled your face 

That turned to skeleton bone 

(Repeat chorus)
