Skin & Bones Lyrics

Go tell it to the mountain
Go sing it to the sky
Ain't no one gonna listen here
Ain't no one on your side
No you don't get no mercy
Your lies are cheap and cold
Well I wonder if you have a heart
Or if you're all just skin and bones

'Cause this whole town knows
You burn every bridge you cross
But we never thought we'd see the day
You'd turn your back on us
Well you got what you wanted
Well, was it worth the cost
The fire is a burnin' now
Look at all you've lost

Go on, be on your way now
Take any outbound road
And if you do look back one day
Don't ever call this home
Ain't no one here your neighbor
Ain't no one here your friend
Ain't no one here want to see your face
Around these parts again

'Cause this whole town knows
You burn every bridge you cross
But we never thought we'd see the day
You'd turn your back on us
Well you got what you wanted
Well, was it worth the cost
The fire is a burnin' now
Look at all you've lost

Hmmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ahh
Hmmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ahh

'Cause this whole town knows
You burn every bridge you cross
But we never thought we'd see the day
You'd turn your back on us
Well you got what you wanted
Well, was it worth the cost
The fire is a burnin' now
Look at all you've lost

Liz Longley (born in Downingtown, PA) is an American singer and songwriter. She is currently based in Nashville, TN.

Since her graduation from Boston’s renowned Berklee College of Music, Longley has assembled quite an impressive resume. While best known for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, Longley has quickly built a reputation as an accomplished songwriter, crafting intimately personal portraits through her music. Longley's ever-expanding fan base is not the only group to acknowledge her talent. In 2010 alone, Longley took home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country; the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Chris Austn Songwriting Contest.

While she has previously opened shows for established artists such as Mindy Smith, Nanci Griffith, Paula Cole, Livingston Taylor, Amos Lee, Shawn Colvin, Colin Hay and America, it is becoming clear that Longley has come into her own as a performer. The Washington Post declared that she is “destined to a bigger audience,” Dig Boston called her “a rising acoustic sensation” and even John Mayer is a fan, calling her music “gorgeous, just gorgeous.” Executives at Sirius XM caught wind of her cover of Van Morrison’s hit “Moondance” and added it into regular rotation, along with her award-winning original song, “When You’ve Got Trouble.” Read more on Last.fm.
