Ghost Bones

Robert Edgar 2004

Wondering why I can’t fall asleep tonight.

Sure as hell not ‘cause I’m thinking of you.

Spent all the money set aside for the doctor

Took my guitar from my arms and went and hocked her

Wondering why I can’t fall asleep tonight

Sure as hell not ‘cause I’m thinking of you.

Just go away and leave me alone.

Take along this confusion of ghost bones.

The dark in this room is the dark between the stars.

The blood in your heart is the cold dust of Mars.

Wondering why I can’t fall asleep tonight

Sure as hell not ‘cause your sun’s in my eyes.

Wondering why I can’t fall asleep tonight.

Sure as hell not ‘cause I’m thinking of you.
