Scatter My Bones ft. Ordinary Elephant Lyrics

Scatter my bones in Green Appalachia

Where you loved me before I knew

If it takes all you must mix my bones with the dust

Of the Southwestern sands where I loved you too

Take me back to the Black Hills of South Dakota

To the Great Lakes and let me float

But don't let me sink in the salt of the ocean

Don't keep me, but don't let me go

Scatter my bones like I scattered my heart

Make me a bed of my own

But when you get to the wide mouth of the blue

Turn around, take me back home

Scatter my smoke to the crest of our mountain

Where I'll make my nest with the clouds

And when you look up, can't believe your luck

I am the rain that's coming back down

I've written hymns and I've written love songs

A few to get stuck in your head

One last song is never the last

So long as you don't forget

So sing me a song about Green Appalachia

Where you loved me when I didn't know

But don't let me sink in the salts of the ocean

Don't keep me, but don't let me go

Scatter my bones, Scatter my bones

Scatter my bones, Scatter my bones

Scatter my bones like you scattered my heart

Make me a bed of my own

When you get to the wide mouth of the blue

When you get to the wide mouth of the blue

When you get to the wide mouth of the blue

Turn around– take me back home.

Scatter my bones, Scatter my bones

Scatter my bones, Scatter my bones
