One Day

One day the waves will forget the ocean

And wander their way up to the shore

One day the moon will quit being the watchman

Forget just who she's shining for

Oh, these bones will carry me home

One day these mountains will tire of standing

Drop their shoulders into the sand

One day the wind will give up its last breath

Drifting off to some promised land

Oh, these bones will carry me home

One day the fire will give up its ashes

And weave their way through the open air

One day the rain will cover us up, darlin'

We'll drink and dance like there's no one there

One day the winter will give up its shaking

And lay itself by an open flame

One day the stars will stop flickering off

On and off and on and off

On and off and on again
