Crying Holy
She came to me in an autumn field
Somewhere west of here
At my feet, she laid a bone down
Old and bleached, on the dusty ground
I picked it up and held it close
Crows singing, Buffalo thunder ringing out
Then, I was running with the herd
Along the great divide between two worlds
Chorus:
I don't know about the whole
But I know tears and bones
And all my broken pieces
And begging for mercy
I'm down on my knees
Crying holy
I had my finger on some kind of trigger
When I was young
I would wake up, wondering how I got there
And how I would make it home
And I never wanted to do what they wanted me to
I just didn't know any other way
And I didn't want to be good I knew
It was a survival thing
Chorus:
I don't know about the whole
But I know tears and bones

And all my broken pieces
And begging for mercy
I'm down on my knees
Crying holy
I was never meant to
Live in the terrified shadows
Of all the tired and unrealized lives of the
People along my bloodline
But it's good to recognize
All those hard places from where we come
We've got to see beyond the horizon
And look possibility in the eye
When I'm long dead and gone
And all those Crows and those thundering Buffalo
Will come rest on top this place
She'll come back and lay down my bones
Chorus:
I don't know about the whole
But I know tears and bones
And all my broken pieces
And begging for mercy
I'm down on my knees
Crying holy
Crying holy
