Relationships in fiction can be as powerful and tragic as those in real life — take Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky, whose sad tale of mistrust and rejection still resonates with readers today. The pair are the inspiration for the heartbreak in Fossil and Bone.
We did a video release of Fossil and Bone in 2018 under Eastbourne Records. We decided to re-release with Chris Pezzarello’s drums and updated sound with strings and harmonies.

Fossil and Bone
You send me postcards and letters
When I have nothing left to say
You tell me your world is looking better
I can’t remember you that way
We’re at the cost of moving on
Our line in the sand will soon be gone
I no longer share my heart with you
Chorus
So don’t cry for me - don’t lie to me
Somehow we knew this had to be
That you’d go your way and I’d go mine
You live your life Fossil and Bone
Never dream of love - never dream of home
A road to quiet - a sky too long
I may feel love surface at times
I will never change my mind
One day my heart just ran out of time
Chorus
With one word - one song
I walked alone
That day - sent me far away
Chorus
