lyrics

IN A CHEST OF SKIN AND BONE ~ (Jon Byrd/Doyle Primm)

IN A CHEST OF SKIN AND BONE
IS WHERE I KEEP HER STEPPING STONE
LOCKED UP SAFELY AND I’VE THROWN
AWAY THE ONLY KEY

IT USED TO BE AS GOOD AS GOLD
REALLY SOMETHING TO BEHOLD
‘TIL A HEEL WITHOUT A SOUL
TOOK A STROLL YOU SEE

WORE IT DOWN AND LEFT IT FLAT
TURNED ITS SHIMMER INTO BLACK
USED IT TO GET WHERE SHE’S AT
THEN GAVE IT BACK TO ME

WITH THE BOTTOM OF HER SHOE
SHE DID WHAT I CAN’T UNDO
NO LONGER WILL THIS HEART BE TRUE
LIKE IT USED TO BE

IN A CHEST OF SKIN AND BONE
IS WHERE I KEEP HER STEPPING STONE
LOCKED UP SAFELY AND I’VE THROWN
AWAY THE ONLY KEY
