LAY Lyrics

I'd like to lay my wandering bones at your feet

Along with all the longing they cost me

You can dump them in a bucket

And drag them out to sea, sea, sea

Feed them to the fish

And set me free



I'd like to lay my wandering bones at your door

Along with all the aching they gave me

You can move them to New Brunswick

New Hampshire, New Delhi

So my bones don't grow old

Oh, set me free



You can drive them out to China

Roll them down that wall, oh, I won't mind

I don't mind at all

'Cause where's the want in wandering

If you're not in tow?

I can't see, so I believe



I'd like to lay my wandering bones in your bones

Along with all the wander they want be

They won't take you where you tell them

But they'll get you there safely

If my bones long to roam, then let it be

Take my bones out to roam

And set me free
