Bones of Our Lives

Firefly dappled dunes and bottle rocket Julys
The ghosts of Independence Day that drift across the sky
It was the smell of you that I'd just found at the time
The smell of you that I'm searching for tonight

So all these pieces, these memories, bones of our lives
I'll take them in my arms and gather them into the light

Bumblebees and hummingbirds and August afternoons
The softness of the grass that welcomes feet and gentle dew
Back then I was unafraid of pain and even death
And I am grieving that part of me that you took when you left

So all these pieces, these memories, bones of our lives
I'll take them in my arms and gather them into the light

The tiny voice that whispers as the lake disturbs the sand
Softly wondering if you will come back home again
And on that prairie is the part of me that died
And on that prairie you will be forever in my mind

So all these pieces, these memories, bones of our lives
I'll take them in my arms and gather them into the light
