Hearts and Bones
One and one half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Out travelling together and the sun greyed the crystal
And the blood of Christ, mountains of New Mexico
On the last leg of a journey they started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high blizzard air
Mountain passes slipping in the stone
Hearts and bones, hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the doors
Two people were married
The act was outrageous
The bride was contageous
She burned like pride
These events may have had some effect
On the man with the girl by his side
The arc of a love affair
His hands rolling down her hair
Love like lightning, shaking 'til it mourns
Hearts and bones, hearts and bones
Hearts and bones, hearts and bones
Woah, she said, "Why?
Why don't we drive through the night?
We'll wake up down in Mexico, oh why?
And I don't know nothin' about
Nothin' about no Mexico
And tell me why?
Why won't you love me for who I am
Where I am?"
He said, "'Cause that's not the way the world is baby
This is how I love you baby
This is how I love you baby"
One and one half wandering Jews
Return to their natural posts
To resume old acquaintances, step out occasionally
And speculate who had been damaged the most
Easy, time will determine if these consolations
Will be their reward
The arc of a love affair
Waiting to be restored
Take two bodies and you twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bones
They won't come undone
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Free to wander wherever they choose
Out travelling together and the sun greyed the crystal
And the blood of Christ, mountains of New Mexico
On the last leg of a journey they started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high blizzard air
Mountain passes slipping in the stone
Hearts and bones, hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the doors
Two people were married
The act was outrageous
The bride was contageous
She burned like pride
These events may have had some effect
On the man with the girl by his side
The arc of a love affair
His hands rolling down her hair
Love like lightning, shaking 'til it mourns
Hearts and bones, hearts and bones
Hearts and bones, hearts and bones
Woah, she said, "Why?
Why don't we drive through the night?
We'll wake up down in Mexico, oh why?
And I don't know nothin' about
Nothin' about no Mexico
And tell me why?

Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
