lyrics

dust and bone

from the rib i was made
it was taken from your side
and now i'll never leave it
my beloved is mine
before these arms could hold,
i knew you when i was dust and bone

with you i belong and with you i will stay
my darling, how lovely our story!
they'll say that one was made into two
as new stars shone

lover, come to me and lay your head
on my beating heart
and my body will be your bed

you came from the earth
breath turned into man
and you named all the creatures
on wind, sea, and land
and through many thousand dreams
you slept alone

but now i will follow you into the night
and our voices will ring out,
together in time
as we carve our haleilujah into sacred stone

lover, come to me and lay your head
on my beating heart
and my body will be your bed
lover, come to me, we'll ebb and flow
with the tide that moves
in the oceans of our souls

the day that i leave you
i won't be alone
i'll be one of the many
on streets lines with gold
and i know someday
you will find me in the crowd

the time may go slowly, the time may go fast
the time will return you
to my arms at last
and you'll hear me saying
'fore they put you in the ground

lover come to me and lay your head
on my beating heart
and my body will be your bed
lover come to me through dirt and stone
let your spirit rise
to my voice calling you home

from the rib i was made
it was taken from your side
and now i'll never leave it
my beloved is mine
before these arms could hold,
i knew you when i was dust and bone
