There lies a man of my heart
A fine and complete work of art
Here, I his woman, his home, and his heart
And proud to be playing that part
And proud to be playing that part

Rest in the bed of my bones
All that I have is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live

The sirens come and shall feel your call
As a sound as I believe in you

The first bit's the hardest I'm sure
Where our shadows come to the shore
Know that it's you and I till the end
And all I want from life is to hold your hand

All that I have are these bones
And all that I want is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live

The sirens come, they always will
But the dart between my heart and his
Is as good as a diamond chain

Rest in the bed of my bones
All that I want is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live
