Counting Up Your Bones

My bones fall in
My bones fall out
You're cool as silk
Beside my heart
Your bones glide in
A silent tear
That mingles marrow
When you disappear

A dance we weave beneath our skin
I keep you in me where the breath had been
I can hear them laugh and call me minnow
Carrying on, coughing on my bones
I'm counting up your bones
I'm counting up your bones

Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me

Your bones fall in
Your bones fall out
I'm cool as silk
Beside your heart
A dance we weave
Beneath our skin
I keep you in me
Where the breath had been

Why's a minnow
Washing out the linen?
Tumbling and left to dry alone
I'm counting up your bones
I'm counting up your bones
