Bones

Won’t you show to me
The bones of the city
The city that you knew
When you were just a boy
Won’t you show to me
The things I don’t see
The ghosts
That bring you joy

I would do anything to know
Where this love is gonna go
But you tell me to wait
Tell me to go slow

I give to you
My falling in the playground
All the grazes on my knees
All my little girl shame
I give to you
My fears in the evening
All my raging against
My father’s name

I would do anything to know
Where this love is gonna go
But you tell me to wait
Tell me to go slow

Show me show me
The place I can call home

I would do anything to know
Where this love is gonna go
But you tell me to wait
Tell me to go slow
