lyrics

Blood and bone

Let's light a candle
for those who didn't make it
let's make a promise
we'll all meet up again
under the sky in some
serene and ancient valley
our faces whole and shining bright
and our masks
thrown to the ground

We'll dance
before the fire, say the words
we wish we'd said,
and when night comes
we'll wrap ourselves
in blankets made of stone
we lie beneath the stars
we know we're not alone
there's so much more
than blood and bone
the stories that we never told

There's so much more
I should have told you
so much more
still to be said
the days stretch on
and when I see you
on the street
though we are strangers
from a time before
we have a second chance
I've brought a candle
for the journey
it's a long way
in the dark
