lyrics

Please don’t leave me
Here to drown in the dark
Of this boundless blue sky
Where I can’t find my heart

And please don’t leave me
‘Cause I can’t catch my breath
In this stifling clear mountain air
That won’t let me rest

And the sun, it burns my skin
And it won’t let me hide the shape I’m in
And it bleaches the bones of the skeletons who roam with me
Everywhere that I’ve been

And please don’t leave me
Sitting too near the flame
‘Cause I need the snow and ice that I carry in my veins
Helps me numb all the shame

And the sun it burns my skin
And it won’t let me hide the shape I’m in
And it bleaches the bones of the skeletons who roam with me
Everywhere that I’ve been

And please don’t leave me
By the rushing river’s edge
‘Cause the current’s just a siren with a sweet, seductive song
But I got things still left unsaid

And the sun it burns my skin
And it won’t let me hide the shape I’m in
And it bleaches the bones of the skeletons who roam with me
Everywhere that I’ve been

Yeah it bleaches the bones of the skeletons who roam with me
Everywhere that I’ve been
