Whose bones are they? That is the question! But what a haunting song.

@Delichon is he saying bones or boats? I thought it was bones when I first heard it, but I've seen it written as "boats" on a couple guitar tab sites. (It's hard to tell when you're listening to it.) Bones seems more obvious. Boats is interesting though, he could be talking about toy boats. He did bury nails and string and hair and an old tooth from a bear. Maybe he buried some boats too. I've had one Sparklehorse album for years, didn't really listen to it until recently. He was so good, very under appreciated.
