lyrics

RUBBER BONES
© Lyrics Kris Ralph- Music Kris Ralph & Tony King 2003

I’ve been through this before
So I made myself a map
A pathway for my life
Sidestepping every trap

Music is my only food
The sax is safe, the bass, the flute
It feeds me where money can’t
That’s my truth ...music heals my blues

I try not to attach
To all the worldly things
My caloused fingers catch
on invisible heartstrings

Fragile if they’re strung too tightly
Changing tempo miss a beat
a hard rhythm to keep
That’s my truth ...music heals my blues

I’ve got rubber bones
I can bend where I stand
I’ve got rubber bones
let me bounce where I land

solo

One day I believe
I will wake up blessed
With an angel spinning
On the flip side of my quest

And I’ll know them by their song
A melody to soothe my pain and
nothing to explain
That’s my truth ...music heals my blues

I’ve got rubber bones
I can bend where I stand
I’ve got rubber bones
let me bounce where I land
I’ve got rubber bones
I’ll be safe in any Storm
No Lightning strike
will ever do me harm

That’s my truth ...music heals my blues
That’s my truth ...music heals my blues
music heals my blues
music heals my blues

about

Beautifully Mad image

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
