Buried in Water Lyrics

Cover art for Buried in Water lyrics by Dead Man's Bones

I think they lyrics are 'The wolf's there, in the skin of a sheep' and 'Love was all that it could give, But it died so other towns could live They un-buried bodies from the ground, when they drowned our little town'. I think there are a lot of parallels with the film Lost River, and it's about the idea of a town sacrificing itself for the good of others, and how the dead bodies in the graveyards literally started to surface as the earth got waterlogged, hence the line 'bury anchors in our ghosts, so we can let our heartbeats go' - the spirits of the bodies need to be laid to rest once again so their loved ones can be at peace.
