Kate Reid - Crying Holy Lyrics
Somewhere west of hereAt my feet, she laid a bone downOld and bleached, on the dusty groundI picked it up and held it closeCrows singing, Buffalo thunder ringing outThen, I was running with the herdAlong the great divide between two worldsChorus:I don't know about the wholeBut I know tears and bonesAnd all my broken piecesAnd begging for mercyI’m down on my kneesCrying holyI had my finger on some kind of triggerWhen I was youngI would wake up, wondering how I got thereAnd how I would make it homeAnd I never wanted to do what they wanted me toI just didn’t know any other wayAnd I didn’t want to be good I knewIt was a survival thingChorus:I don't know about the wholeBut I know tears and bonesAnd all my broken piecesAnd begging for mercyI’m down on my kneesCrying holyI was never meant toLive in the terrified shadowsOf all the tired and unrealized lives of thePeople along my bloodlineBut it’s good to recognizeAll those hard places from where we comeWe’ve got to see beyond the horizonAnd look possibility in the eyeWhen I'm long dead and goneAnd all those Crows and those thundering BuffaloWill come rest on top this placeShe’ll come back and lay down my bonesChorus:I don't know about the wholeBut I know tears and bonesAnd all my broken piecesAnd begging for mercyI’m down on my kneesCrying holyCrying holy
