Don't leave me half hanged Like the witch in the dark This place grows colder As strong as we are With every rope swing I struggle for air I know I'm breathing but is it still there Are you still there Decorate my bones Decorate my bones With autumn flowers when summer's flown Decorate my bones Decorate my bones With dahlias and ragged stones The night grows quiet There's nothing to fear And with the nightjar my final thoughts grow clear I am innocent of all the words you've thrown And I will wear them 'til the summer leaves have grown And the starlings have all flown So decorate my bones Decorate my bones With autumn flowers when summer's flown Decorate my bones Decorate my bones With dahlias and ragged stones Echoing alone Echoing alone Alone Alone
