Within My Bone

by Tony Manfredonia

/
1.
It lingers in every crevice of bone And dwells in the pit of the heart It bleeds down into the stomach From the center of the brain Where dark scribbles blot memories With pain Rain drops ripple the surface of water Moonless black is the sky On a boat that drifts like a melody going by And I wake with your voice in my ears As if it hasn’t been nearly two years Oh these deep green eyes They don’t reflect the same And when ringlets form in my hair I remember it’s from you they came And even though you’re never coming home I carry you within my bone Grasping for fading subconscious To remain with you longer To feel a little stronger But you vanish into the back of my eyes And it still feels like some kind of cruel lie That you’re too far out of reach That you’ve never seen my home But reside in the crevice of bone Oh these deep green eyes They don’t reflect the same And when ringlets form in my hair I remember it’s from you they came And even though you’re never coming home I carry you within my bone Oh these deep green eyes They don’t reflect the same And when ringlets form in my hair I remember it’s from you they came And even though you’re never coming home I carry you within my bone

about

Within My Bone is the first song (of many more) that features my wife's lyrics. Nearly two years after the loss of her father, she wrote a poem and approached me,

"Tony, this poem kind of feels like a song. Would you want to put it to music?"

"Within My Bone" is the end result. A massive shoutout to Tadej and Trey for performing their instruments so magnificently on this song.

A big thank you to everyone who listens to this collaborative effort to bring Maria's words to life <3.
