Marrow
How can a body prove its worth? What if I gave the wind a curl? Hoping some industrious bird Might weave it into something warm and good
'Cause there's nothing hard at all about the center of a bone It's sweet to suck the soft marrow Keep on working at me 'till I'm all hollow And lighter than a dove-tailed swallow
Oh, to be made to rise above And build nests out of straw and mud Singing out the sweetest songs Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To make the night not seem so long and dark
'Cause there's nothing hard at all about the center of a bone It's sweet to suck the soft marrow Keep on working at me 'till I'm all hollow And lighter than a dove-tailed swallow
But I was made to stand upright On earth that's cracked like elbow skin And worry about frost at night And feel the weight I'm carrying
