damn the circumstances
Singer:madeleine peyroux
my heart is like a hand-me-down made soft by older brothers
my body's like my father's house
damn the bones that rattle
you shook the ground beneath my feet
my hopes turned into water
the house came crashing down on me in the early morning hours
damn the bones that rattle
now the lines are drawn and we sleep in the rags and dust
where all good will has gone and the dreams we had went bust
damn the bones that rattle
