Bag of Bones

One is how your eyes contain the glory of the setting sun
Two’s the feeling that came over me as I set eyes on you
Three’s the power and the strength in every word you said to me
They’re all numbers in a row
As I’m counting down to zero

Whispers in the wind…
Now I can hear that voice again
What I thought was the end
Is only where it all begins
Searching for secrets I’m digging through a bag of bones
In quest of answers I’m digging…

Four is how I’d feel if I could never hold you anymore
Five is how you’re giving me a reason to remain alive
Six is how you prove to me that what is broken can be fixed
They’re all numbers in a row
As I’m counting down to zero

Whispers in the wind…
Now I can see those eyes again
What I thought was the end
Is only where it all begins
Searching for secrets I’m digging through a bag of bones
In quest of answers I’m digging
Through a bag of bones…

Seven is how in your eyes I can get a taste of heaven
Eight is how, in spite of my mistakes, I know it’s not too late
Nine is how you’re showing me that deep within we’re all divine
They’re all numbers in a row
As I’m counting down to zero

Whispers in the wind…
Now I can hear that voice again
What I thought was the end
Is only where it all begins
Searching for secrets I’m digging through a bag of bones
In quest of answers I’m digging
Through a bag of bones…
