Lyrics

Oh my soul save my bones
Something's on the way
Oh my soul won't you save my bones
Something's on the way

My hands are floating in the air
Smile's on the closest coast
Some salt water spray lays under one eye
The other winks at winter's ghost
Flapping birches let loose their children
Each to find their way
And none can seem to choose direction
Without a little help from May

May people, lonely and free
Settle back and watch it blow
May the people lonely and free
Grab a coat and wave hello

Hello cold moon where's your hat
There's ice between your toes
Oh my soul save these bones
Nothin' comes that never goes
On your way now leafy children
Whisper with the corn and hay
Save a breath to shine next springtime
With a little help from May

May people, lonely and free
Settle back and watch it blow
May the people lonely and free
Grab a coat and wave hello

May people, lonely and free
Settle back and watch it blow
May the people lonely and free
Grab a coat and wave hello

Oh my soul save these bones
Something's on the way
Oh my soul won't you save these bones
Something is on the way
