I heard the bone man I heard him howl
Out in the dark night out in the wild
It’s all been building so many years
No reason left in him to stem them tears
No way now Hear the bone man howl like some orphan child
I heard the bone man I heard him moan
I saw him trembling out there so lost and all alone
Everything he ever was everything he’s ever known
Stripped him now and gone hear him sing his sad song
And he don’t know like the wind that blows which way to go
And I read them poems that he wrote heard his song note by note\
She was everything and all he ever needed how he saw it
That sweet spell she cast ain’t no love like that can last
Unless it changes and he knew come a time it would all have to
And now he stands like time demands dreams his own hands
He wrapped that wind around him tight embraced that pain
Stood there naked in the night in a hard driving rain
And there ain’t nothing but that need nothing left to explain
That storm that rages hear the roar here on out forever more
The moon and stars some things so cold and clear he sees
It all such clarity and insanity’s his way free where he soars for all to see
Let the red wine flow and the poetry the poetry his eyes burning
Turning in on himself now so let him be
I heard the bone man I heard him howl
Out in the dark night out in the wild
It’s all been building so many years
No reason left in him to stem them tears
No way now Hear the Bone Man howl
