Blood John Cowan
He and I agreed on nothing
Even the color of the sky
And only I could make him hurt
Though he never let me see him cry.
Hard as rain
Cut like diamonds
His words came back to me
And I could tell myself it’s different now
Though it doesn’t really set me free.
It’s my blood that binds me
It’s my blood that ties me to my home
And my blood reminds me
Everywhere I … everywhere I go.
She and I were bound together
A little boy and girl
She tried to keep us safe and warm
In this big ole scary world.
Not the walls of time can separate
Nor the winds that blow above
Could ever hope to tear this thread
That runs between the two of us.
It’s my blood that binds me
It’s my blood that ties me to my home
And my blood reminds me
Everywhere I … everywhere I go.
(Instrumental break)
We stood together
Holding hands
As we watched him close his eyes.
This is what can’t be undone
Even when we say goodbye
It’s my blood that binds me
It’s my blood that ties me to this earth
And my blood reminds me
Everywhere I … everywhere I…
Everywhere…I go…
It’s my blood.
They’re my blood.
I’m their blood.
