lyrics

ONLY BONES
I’m on quicksand, sinking slow
Sometimes I notice, mostly I don’t
I don’t obsess it but it’s good to know
Got Lots to do before I go

Can’t let my past mess with me
There's good and bad but both deceive
So, like Paul, I let it be
Sweet Sweet Simplicity

Clear out that closet in my head
All that stuff I forgot to forget
These Diamonds are all just stones
and Skeletons are only bones

Hey eh eh
Clear that closet. Such a mess
Toss that stuff you forgot to forget
Diamonds are all just stones
Skeletons are only bones

I have these wings but I still can't fly
No matter how I try
Too much baggage in the hold
Had to lighten up my load

Nothing so precious that it can’t be tossed
Nothing found that can’t be lost
Nothing dark that can’t be lit
Nothing here I’ll need or miss

Clear out that closet in my head
All that stuff I forgot to forget
These Diamonds are all just stones
and Skeletons are only bones

Hey eh eh
Clear that closet. Such a mess
Toss that stuff you forgot to forget
Diamonds are all just stones
Skeletons are only bones

Someday this quicksand gonna swallow me
Gonna set my spirit free
This life is just on loan
And skeletons are only bones

Hey eh eh
Clear that closet. Such a mess
Toss that stuff you forgot to forget
Diamonds are all just stones
Skeletons are only bones

about

Christopher Brown Mamaroneck, New York

Christopher Brown writes intelligent songs that unravel with the depth and sophistication of 4 minute novellas. He's a seasoned artist taking stock of his life’s journey --victories and defeats, good days and bad -- with offhand insight and humor.
He wins over audiences with an organic stage presence, a honeyed rumble of a voice and an unteachable ability to always sound genuine and in the moment
