Lyrics Kasey Chambers – Rattlin’ Bones
Text:
Smoke don’t rise
Fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Shane
Left my home and left my love
Kasey
Caught on a rusty nail
Shane
Devil rose up, heavy with gold
Kasey
My soul’s not for sale
Shane
Then a holy man in a house of God
Kasey
He offered me a book of prayer
Shane
And when I left my home I left my love
Both
I left my faith back there
Smoke don’t rise
Fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Shane
Shuttin’ my eyes and hang my head
Kasey
Darkness makes no sound
Shane
Climb it up, bottom there
Kasey
Earth’s on the way back down
Shane
When a sadness falls on the morning bird
Kasey
Wonder what the day will bring
Shane
But I’m shuttin’ my eyes and hang my head
Both
At least that bird can sing
Smoke don’t rise
Fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin’ at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
