Joe Henry - Flesh and Blood lyrics

Aaaah come sit beside me

That'll do for now

The night has come and left me

Just the light that you allow

Come speak my name

Fill my head with oh such foolish dreams

My flesh and blood

Is no more real to me

Than what it seems

My love for you is burning

Like a sparkle on a fuse

I feel your mark upon me now

As surely as the hand that leaves the bruise

Life is for the living

And life comes hard for some

The rest of us were flesh and blood

Make it hard all on our own

All I ever wanted

Was the freedom to refuse

Or something of my own to love enough

To hate to lose

The fever in my brain

Is leaving smoke behind my eyes

When the part of me that wants to change

Fights the part of me that tries

Come see the gold light

Cause I turned the gold light on.

Sometimes God knows

You've got to learn to shine shine shine shine all on your own

I I I I I stepped out of darkness

And for a moment

I'm only living by your kiss your kiss your kiss your kiss your lips your kiss

your kiss

And now, just for now our flesh and blood's more real than this

More real than this (X2)

More more more more more more more more more more more more real than this

Flesh and blood is more real than this

More real than this (X2)

Flesh and blood (X2)

More real than this

More real

More real than this
