play Box Of Bones (with Emily Saliers)

from Box Of Bones - Cogtone 006 - 1996

she said look at all these houses they're just boxes of bones
hearts still beat within them but they're harder than stone

sun sank into west texas moon rose without a sound
hills kept rolling wind swept past
as our lopsided world spun 'round

she needs as much time as it will
totake to make that climb i'd like to help her out
but it's too soon to start thinking about new love

i guess love let her down.
last guy really must have knocked her around
she's gonna wait it out, there's too much at stake
to start thinking about new love

every stranger's face i see, breeds a strange familiarity
now her eyes are fixed wide open in this
misty morning light
