They Catch Secrets - Angel Bones Lyrics

Figure in the stone
Open up your arms
Hammer and chisel
Have made you what you are
Tattood like a building
Where everybody writes their name
Gutted out on the inside
Concrete + steel frame remain

With the sun comes the rain
It will not be in vain
With water quench the flame
It will not be in vain

From the preacher to the thief
To the mother with a newborn on her knee
They will say heyeyey
From the boys on North B
To the choir boys singing in the street
They will say
"hey I made it through another day"

You will stand tall and proud just like they always did
Yesterday you gave them all that you had to give
Now you walk fast and steady straight down this desert road
Oh baby's breath and angel bones

You walked out that little one
An old familiar place
Sunlight beaming down and falling on your face
Packed your suitcase and your way out west you know the way
Five hundred before you rode the same with nothing more to say

With the sun comes the rain
It will not be in vain
With water quench the flame
It will not be in vain

From the preacher to the thiefy
To the mother with a newborn on her knee
They will say
From the boys on North B
To the choir boys singing in the street
They will say
"hey I made it through another day"

You will stand tall and proud just like they always did
Yesterday you gave them all that you had to give
Now you walk fast and steady straight down this desert road
Oh baby's breath and angel bones

You will stand tall and proud just like they always did
Yesterday you gave them all that you had to give
Now you walk fast and steady straight down this desert road
Oh baby's breath and angel bones

You will stand tall and proud just like they always did
Yesterday you gave them all that you had to give
Now you walk fast and steady straight down this desert road
Oh baby's breath and angel bones
