Lazy Bones Lyrics

In the afternoon, my head is sleeping

In the afternoon, my mind is gone

And a broken tune won't stop repeating

Gather up, gather up, your lazy bones

Because the sun's going down

And the world's home from work

And the song keeps repeating the only words you know

Gather up, gather up your lazy bones

Gather up, gather up your lazy bones

Somewhere on the blue horizon

There's another end in sight

But that's too far gone

Say it over yes it's too far gone

Roll me over 'cause I'm too far gone

Let your lazy bones lie

Let your lazy bones lie

Across a smiling moon the birds are reeling

When their chimney tops are blowing smoke

And the faded skyline begs and pleads them

Further up, further up

Your hollow bones

Because the sun's going down

And it's tired from its work

And it's falling like a lid over the eyes of the earth

Gather up, gather up your lazy bones

Gather up, gather up your lazy bones

Someday distance may divide us

Someday words won't be enough

But that's all we've got

Say it over, yes it's all we've got

That's enough because it's all gonna be just fine

Let your lazy bones lie
