(Please) Leave Me the Bones Run Time: 4:43
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1998
conversations fade people moving out slow
hey here's one for the record one for the road
you can stand on your soap box all alone
you can have the flesh but please leave me the bones
some call it gold some call it dross
some say i'm saved some say i'm lost
so i say in the most respectful tone
you can have the flesh but please leave me the bones
making those records for the company team
pull the shiny knob of the vending machine
you do your best to play the hand that's thrown
help yourself to the flesh but please leave me the bones
touch of your love makes my heart full
every lonely note reminds me of you
and am i looking for heaven inside this drone
you can take the flesh but please leave me the bones
when my rhymes were wrapped at all
cadences car crash on the retaining wall
come Holy Spirit purify this soul
you can have the flesh but please leave me the bones
Appeared On…
