lyrics

Leg Bone Flute by Neil Cousin

I have been cut from the fabric of a sheet
That lined your sick bed, which you kept for reasons lost
You are a ghost and I carry on your secret
For reasons lost I carry you inside

And in the copper of these strings there lies a virtue
There is a collar for a hound you used to own
It's the last straw, it's the final disappointment
It's the hunger you used to own

Leg bone flute, leg bone flute, leg bone flute
Leg bone flute, leg bone flute, leg bone flute

You were born by means of deception
By my light you were shown to be lost
You're in love with the struggle, you've got no time for other
Infatuations, loves or complications

Can you find love in loneliness?
Can you find a home in hate?
Is there hope in your despairing?
Do you win by a crashing mistake?
