Chicken Bones Lyrics

Hallelujah, I would paddle to you on your isle in the sea

And holy moly I would row if only you would call up on me

With heart in hand, by land and sea, a mariner you'd make of me

And jeepers creepers, I would wear my sneakers through the toes

Don't you know

If I'da known that you were by your lonesome I would go, if it were so

I'm hikin' and a hummin' too

A wanderer to want for you

Cause I was dreaming about leaving today

Make believing, but my reasons to stay

Are needless to say

Jesus Christ, I spent some sleepless nights out on my own

I lie alone

Don't know if I've gotten wiser, just been swatting flies and skipping stones

Chicken bones

I wish I had a fish to fry

Or I'd a net to catch your eye

Cause I was dreaming about leaving today

Make believing, but my reasons to stay Are needless to say

Jesus Christ, I spent some sleepless nights out on my own

I lie alone

Don't know if I've gotten wiser

Just been swatting flies and skipping stones, chicken bones

A breeze comes by my open door

And over to your ocean shore

It calls and pines, to cry for me

Just what I've been hoping for
