Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings
Thump goes the dead bass drum
A steady rhythm in my chest,
As the melody starts to hum
My achin' bones wanna rest,
Still, my old soul jumps alive
When those swingin' beats begin,
These achin' joints they do thrive
With my jaw's widenin' grin,
'Round my skull digs that jive
Just wait 'til it finds my chin,
Dyin' songs waitin' to be heard
Sounds of the soul deep within,
Dancin' notes play around word
A remedy already under my skin.
