The Bones of You and Me

from Portraits of People I Never Knew by Ed Muirhead

/

lyrics

Beneath the branches of this tree
Lie the bones of you and me
We've been gone a century
There's nothing left to see
But the bones of you and me.

We lived for all that we were worth
We travelled lightly on the earth
And ever since we've fed the turf
There's nothing left of any worth
But the bones of you and me.

Beneath this apple tree we lay
Propping up the roots
Not much else to do or say
But fertilise the fruit.
Above us growth and life
The spreading branches of the tree
No matter how they grow
Planted in a cemetery
Like you and me.

I loved the very bones of you
You loved the very bones of me
And ever since then
We have always been together
Beneath the branches of this tree
You and me
Beneath the branches of this tree.
