Rattling Bone - Iron & Wine
A skull and a jewel on a wooden cane

A rattling bone on a boat, on the waves you sail away

I will lay awake until all your power’s gone

Whipping the pig until it broke the gate

A table and chair by the creek though his house was washed away

I will lay awake until all your power’s gone

God is asleep in the bed we made

Suckling bitch on the porch, and no stick might draw away

I will lay awake until all your power’s gone

Love in the shape of the close of day

Kissing the face in a dream that I thought I tossed away

I will lay awake until all your power’s gone

Hobble and wade in the love we gave

Passing your lip from the wine that we raised then threw away

I will lay awake until all your power’s gone

Chuckling lamb by the anchor weight

Shuddering wolf on a ship, on the waves you sail away

I will lay awake until all your power’s gone
