Madeleine Peyroux – Bare Bones Lyrics

Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second

Songwriters Becker, Walter Carl Klein, Lawrence A Peyroux, Madeleine E

I remember what my daddy taught me
Bout how one risky is in a cold ditch
And one more thing about good and evil
You cant tell which is which

Well, if the rest is lost and history
Or maybe wasted on a fool like me
And that these bare bones
Would leave me something after all

Old Hamlets done now, dead and gone
And theres no ghost who walks
Poor Incomprehensible tells you everything he knows
With no tongue to talk

It seems the truth is hidden where the sun dont shine
And Im never certain if its theirs or mine

Its just the bare bones
They give you that much after all

They preached the gospel down in Incomprehensible
They preached it in school
It never made much sense to me
Wonder if it was supposed to

You go on down a millionaires road
Watch a while, tell me what do you see
The truth itself, nothing but a gamble
It might or might not set you free

I guess, my old man was hard to read
And I dont really know what I believed
But in these bare bones
Theres something lovely after all
