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.
