Bones With a Blue Memory — A Song Inspired by A 119-year-old whale skeleton returns to public view after significant museum conservation.

[Verse 1]
They hoisted old blue thunder through the loading door
with dust in the ribs and a salt line score
the night guard laughed, said, make some room
for a giant who learned how to sleep in a room

[Pre-Chorus]
All that water, all that weather
all that weight held light as a feather

[Chorus]
Bones with a blue memory
hanging where the quiet can see
once you crossed the roaring foam
now every ceiling turns to home
Bones with a blue memory
come back, come back, come back to me

[Verse 2]
They brushed every year from the porcelain white
numbered each ache under museum light
children of midnight, docents and glue
kept whispering, easy, the old sea is you

[Pre-Chorus]
No more nets, no storm to shoulder
only hands growing careful and older

[Chorus]
Bones with a blue memory
hanging where the quiet can see
once you crossed the roaring foam
now every ceiling turns to home
Bones with a blue memory
come back, come back, come back to me

[Bridge]
If the body is a boat we borrow
if the harbor is a future hall
let somebody sing tomorrow
that we were more than what we hauled

[Lead Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Bones with a blue memory
wide as an old cathedral key
once you vanished under foam
now every stranger calls you home
Bones with a blue memory
come back, come back, come back to me
