Hollow Bones Sing (versie 2)

Intro

(Breathe)

Hollow bones sing

Verse

I used to fill your pockets with spare change in a cup

Ride the evening air where your laughter would pull me up

You'd take one long look at me when we hit that last light

And I could read the question written just out of sight

Pre-Chorus

Now you're driving south through headlights, I'm staying behind

Chorus

I've still got my hollow bones singing your name

I've still got this road carrying all the same

(Hollow bones sing)

Every mile between us is a line that's thin but true

(Thin blue line, hollow bones too)

Verse

Your backpack's empty where you used to keep it full of rocks and keys

The postman left a letter on the porch with my name in black ink and stress

I'm learning how to make the bed and fold a clean shirt every day

While your shadow keeps on moving down that highway, one step behind the way

Pre-Chorus

Now you're driving south through headlights, I'm staying behind

Chorus

I've still got my hollow bones singing your name

I've still got this road carrying all the same

(Hollow bones sing)

Every mile between us is a line that's thin but true

(Thin blue line, hollow bones too)

Bridge

It doesn't matter if we drive to where the sun don't shine

Chorus

I've still got my hollow bones singing your name

I've still got this road carrying all the same

(Hollow bones sing)

Every mile between us is a line that's thin but true

(Thin blue line, hollow bones too)
