On the bones of my dreams
Setting all the beacons blazing, baby oh
Of bitterness and blame
Of deeper tides that run
My hands still filled with ashes
Well a slicing through the fear
With their price tags and picture frames
Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams
So our hearts must heed the flow
And they can plunder the cave of sorrow
And try to build a fence around the visions in my heads
It's simply now or never putting flesh
On the streets the blossom snowing
And I hear you speak so clear
At winters edge you found me
Where the spirit raves and dances
Through our very veins
On the bones of these dreams
And they can strip the gallery bare
Choke every spark in a cloak of despair
And it's staring out plainer than ever
Got a flower for every rifle
From fires long cold
Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams
Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams
That prosperity esteems
And the drum is beating slow
As you pulled me from the wreckage
Brighter than all the fools, gold that gleams
Flung open the page said put some flesh
Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams
Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams
But we got something they can't stifle
Far beyond this bare indifference
By the fields of wild gold
