Bone Of Song - Josh Ritter[00:00:00]

Just where it now lies[00:00:17]

I can no longer say[00:00:19]

I found it on a cold and November day[00:00:25]

In the roots of a sycamore tree[00:00:32]

Where it had hid so long[00:00:35]

In a box made out of myrtle[00:00:40]

Lay the bone of song[00:00:44]

The bone of song was[00:00:49]

A jawbone old and bruised[00:00:51]

And worn out in the service of the muse[00:00:56]

And along its sides[00:01:04]

And teeth were written words[00:01:06]

I ran my palm along them[00:01:13]

And I heard[00:01:16]

Lucky are you who finds me[00:01:21]

In the wilderness[00:01:23]

I am the only unquiet ghost[00:01:28]

That does not seek rest[00:01:31]

The words on the bone of song[00:01:41]

Were close and small[00:01:43]

And though their tongues[00:01:45]

Were dead I found I knew them all[00:01:50]

In the hieroglyphs of quills[00:01:55]

And quatrain lines[00:01:59]

Osiris the fall of Troy Auld Lang Syne[00:02:05]

Kathleen Mauvoreen Magnifical[00:02:13]

Your Cheatin' Heart[00:02:15]

The chords of a covenan[00:02:19]

King singing for the Ark[00:02:23]

Then I saw on a white space that was left[00:02:58]

A blessing written older than the rest[00:03:06]

It said leave me here[00:03:13]

I care not for wealth or fame[00:03:15]

I'll remember your song[00:03:21]

But I'll forget your name[00:03:24]

The words that I sang blew[00:03:30]

Off like the leaves in the wind[00:03:33]

And perched like birds in the branches[00:03:37]

Before landing on the bone again[00:03:39]

Then the bone was quiet[00:03:59]

It said no more to me[00:04:01]

So I wrapped it in the ribbons[00:04:06]

Of a sycamore tree[00:04:09]

And as night had come[00:04:14]

I turned around and headed home[00:04:16]

With a lightness in my step[00:04:22]

And a song in my bones[00:04:25]

Lucky are you who finds me[00:04:31]

In the wilderness[00:04:34]

I am the only unquiet ghost[00:04:39]

That does not seek rest[00:04:42]
