  • Four hundred bones, crumpled in bed
    I'm the only one who knows that you're still breathing
    Beneath the blanket, of another French death
    This afternoon is one I will be keeping
    Where skin is painted by a brush from the Sun
    Pull the sheets up to your neck so She can't see us
    And let the clocks do all the worrying for once
    We're passing out inside the sleeping mausoleum

    This is my safe house in the hurricane
    Here is where my love lays, two hundred treasured bones
    This is my warmth behind the Cold War
    This is what I'm living for, forever coming home
    Here's to the room I can rest in
    The door I've always opened, never to be closed
    You as my horizon line, the star I navigate by
    Takes me back to hold 200 perfect bones

    On absent days I will return to this place
    And play a silent colour film within my head
    In which the pillow leaves a cold upon your face
    And all at once it all makes perfect sense
    400 bones crumpled in bed
    I'm the only one who knows that you're still breathing Writer/s: ANDY MONAGHAN, DAVID KENNEDY, GRANT HUTCHISON, SCOTT HUTCHISON, SIMON LIDDEL
