Tindersticks - buried bones LYRICS

With Ann Magnusson

I could take all the craziness out of you

That's what I loved you for

Take away all the oranges, greens and blues

That's what I loved you for

Take a look at me

You think it really could be that easy?

I mean, take a look at me

You think it really could be that easy for you?

I know about guys, I know where they live

And you're just the same

The ones that matter fight against themselves

But it's so hard to change

Hey, I could love you

Take all that love away from you

Hey, I could love you

Put you in this box I've made for two

So you could take all this craziness out of me

That's what you love me for

Well, I don't mean to laugh

But if you know all this

You must be halfway there

Well, like that dress tonight, you won't know as it falls from you

Turn around and it's winter, darling

Look in the mirror and it won't be you

So you're an old, old dog

You've been around the block

So many times

And it's the same old turns

Same old feelings straight down the line

Yeah, I can love you

Grab that leash and drag you to a place you'd never know

I know where my bones are buried

May take me a while, but I'd find my way home
