Nina Nastasia – Counting Up Your Bones lyrics
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

But 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 out to dry alone

I'm counting up your bones
