Billie's Bones - Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Billie's tears fall like dust[00:00:20]

From the air into my eyes[00:00:25]

Seeping in before they rust[00:00:29]

Spilling secrets words can't hide[00:00:34]

I am standing on the bones[00:00:40]

Of a mound too high to climb[00:00:45]

Selling secrets to atone[00:00:51]

For a song that is not mine[00:00:55]

Billie's bones are white and bleached[00:01:00]

Piled high and hard to reach[00:01:05]

And the top looks cold and bleak[00:01:10]

But I see farther when I stand[00:01:16]

On Billie's bones in Billie's land[00:01:20]

There's an orchid in her hair[00:01:34]

There are bruises on her lips[00:01:38]

I would worship if I dared[00:01:43]

Kneeling at her fingertips[00:01:48]

I would tell her how I've yearned[00:01:54]

To be worthy of the grail[00:01:59]

All these years and all I've learned[00:02:04]

Is just how brilliantly I fail[00:02:08]

Billie's bones are white and bleached[00:02:14]

Piled high and hard to reach[00:02:19]

And the top looks cold and bleak[00:02:23]

But I see farther when I stand[00:02:29]

On Billie's bones in Billie's land[00:02:34]

Now the flesh of earth has passed[00:02:57]

Now the joints have come undone[00:03:02]

All that's left of her is ash[00:03:06]

Scattered on the air like crumbs[00:03:10]

There are voices on the wind[00:03:37]

Stolen whispers sacred moans[00:03:42]

You can hear them through your skin[00:03:47]

And the singing of the bones[00:03:51]

When the wind blows from the east[00:03:57]

I can taste her on my tongue[00:04:02]

And the grave is lined and paved with[00:04:08]

All the songs we never sung[00:04:13]
