David Todd (Mr. Snow Man​)​, poem by Helen Cox - Bones Hit The Ground

from The Song Poem Project vol​.​1 by Swoody Records

lyrics

I wrote this song for you, pretty honey

I ain’t got time or a whole lot of money to spend
Things around here are looking very strange

So for you my words I’ll gladly exchange

Sing the words, gather some rhythm
Do you even want to know who or what I am?
I am the voice inside the guts of your body
I am everything you want to embody
I hear the street lights, call my name

Every single one of them looks the same
But I’m here and I’m walking down this road I chose
And I can hear the sweet hum of the undertow
Opening eyes peel back the lemon rind
Sweet sugar aide of my unconfined words
They say that it’s nothing to count upon
I know that we’re only waiting on the dawn
Heaven or hell

Keeping me out, but I’m doing well
Laughing and playing

Hazy lights keep me swaying

Hazy lights keep my song

Live hard, die strong
So, baby, keep on humming and playing
You’ve got to know that all I’m saying is
Things are better than they were before

We fought the fight, we won the war
And now we keep on hanging on

I promise the good days are not all gone
And when my bones they hit the ground

You will only hear this sound
