Grind My Bones Lyrics

The fading light comes passing low
With the living done now down below
He stands me long in blackened ground
The hands grown strong now make no sound
And I ain’t never seen no other Lord
He grind my bones to save my soul
No, I ain’t never seen no other Lord
He grind my bones to save my soul
No, I ain’t never seen no other Lord

I’m broken, and it’s closing time
I’ve thrown it all in just to stay alive
And the good sun done left me dry
I’ve worked to believe
I’ve worked to die
And the cold rain come dancing on
Leave me standing broken and I am fading off
And I ain’t never seen no other Lord
He grind my bones to save my soul
And I ain’t never seen no other Lord
No I ain’t never seen no other Lord

Jesus, let me tell you son
I’m running to your heaven
Can’t you hear me coming?
An’ the bright light’s been fading off
The preacher tell me son I got to pay to talk
Sweet lord come carry me
They fail to impress
And I can’t believe
And I ain’t never seen no other Lord
He grind my bones to save my soul
No I ain’t never seen no other Lord
I ain’t never seen no other Lord
I ain’t never seen no other Lord
He grind my bones to save my soul
No I ain’t never seen no other Lord
No I ain’t never seen no other Lord

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't believe that noone has commented on this song yet!

My interpretation is basically to hold on to what you believe! In the light, when the darkness has robbed you all, all of your sight! (Mumford and Sons - Hold On To What You Believe)
