Cheryl Cawood - Deep Down in Your Bones

“Deep Down in Your Bones” (4:38)

All lyrics clean
You found me buried by the old coalhouse I was worn and tattered
I’d been laying here many a year waiting for you to discover
They put me down in that dirty little town, I thought it didn’t matter
Don’t look to me to find vanity, I am a broken mirror

When you were born, I was torn, there was no connection
I couldn’t stand my own, let alone, stand my own reflection
Was it fair to leave you lying there to find your own salvation?
Don’t look at me to find vanity, I am a broken mirror

Deep down in your bones that’s where my memory settled
Deep into your bones where the pain won’t ever lose hold
A daughter without a mother’s love is broken more than a little
You feel shattered, deep down in your bones

We lived across from the railcar yard, near some forgotten hollow
I had to make a plan, find a rich man, to get a ticket out
I was a pretty girl in a miner’s world, with a life I couldn't handle
Don’t look at me to find vanity, I am a broken mirror

You didn’t notice that tiny crack, it ran smack down my middle
Seven years of bad luck, I was stuck, my life in shambles
There were big mistakes, big heartache’s; My life was tangled
Don’t you look at me to find vanity I am broken mirror

Chorus
