My Old Bleached Bones Lyrics

There is a clearing right across the river

Where we said our goodbyes

I know now that I should have listened

I could have saved so many lives

I spend my days wondering by the water

I've walked this so path so many times

I haunt this plane unseen but always watching

My old bleached bones dry in the sun

Captive

Hold this close

You can use it to escape

Captive

Stay off the path

Stay quiet and stay alive

I've set up camp here and I'll sleep until the morning

When I awake I'll head back home

In the dead of night I can hear a calling

Outside my tent the missing child hides

Captive

Hold this close

You can use it to escape

Captive

Go for help

Never return to this place

Gone

All my fears subside

Here with you

Keep to a whisper please

I can hear him screaming through the trees

I'll turn this flashlight off

And you stay close
