Blood lyrics

Blood... blood’s on your hands.

Blood is no good without a heart to move 'round.

Blood... blood’s on your conscience,

and it won’t come off easy, so just take your time.

For all of the days that you asked to keep me under,

I never thought you would.

Well, I never knew what to say but you never listened anyway.

My my, you told me that you tried,

but looking at you now I think we know that that’s a lie.

Well, oh no, just walk away slow,

I’m praying for the rain to come back.

So long, we have to move on,

the harvest was so weak, we lost the cotton and the corn.

A dry spell, no water in the well,

and I am still so weak

from all of the tears I’ve weeped.

Blood... blood’s on my hands.

Blood is my treasure of which I must pay.

Blood... it’s filled with deceit,

each time we meet and give ourselves away.

For all of the days that you asked to keep me under,

I never thought you would.

Well I never knew what to say but you never listened anyway.

My my, you told me that you tried,

but looking at you now I think we know that that’s a lie.

Well, oh no, just walk away slow,

I’m praying for the rain to come back.

So long, we have to move on,

the harvest was so weak, we lost the cotton and the corn.

A dry spell, no water in the well,

and I am still so weak

from all of the tears I’ve weeped.

Blood is on our hands,

and all can do is just wait,

for you to come round and save me.

Blood is on our hands,

and all can do is just wait,

for you to come round.

(Praying for the rain to come back...)

Blood is on your hands,

and all can do is just wait,

for you to come round.

And I'm still so weak.

And all I can do is weep.
