Calexico - Bloodflow lyrics

Album: Black Light (1998)

Her eyes are closed now
That final breath is near
She lets go of my hand
And I am falling to
A sea of tears

I serach for the trail
That we were both riding
Lost sometime ago

Now I am stranded on the mountain´s edge
And theres only one way back

Down & down I go
Into the ground where the bad seeds´re sown
Take route & pull me further in

Long & long & longer it takes
Gool luck´s gone & theres no more bracke
Just the ground beneath
That shakes & gives way

Swallowed up home
There aint much now I can pull
No stuntman suprises
Or Houdini that disgueses
For death defying escape

Avoid the tap on the shoulder
From that one with the long black cape

Just to see those eyes of her shine
Is worth any sum or length of time
That would fill that space where her love
Once flowed

But the more I resist
The further & further I drift
Get swept out in the riptide

My heart in me wants
To lie ´neath the waves of sorrow & tears
Sink to the bottom & linger there
The rest of my yeahrs

Walk among the mild sea (?) bones
Of my fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
Feel their blood flowing, they
Send the soul it is way
