Calexico - Bloodflow lyrics

Her eyes are closed now That final breath is near She lets go of my hand And I fall into A sea of tears In search for the trail That we were both riding Lost sometime ago Now I'm stranded on the mountain's edge And there's only one way back Down and down I go Into the ground where the bad seeds are sown And take route and pull me further in Long and long and longer it takes Good luck's gone and there's no more breaks Just the ground beneath That shakes and gives way Swallowed up home There ain't much now I can pull No stuntman surprises Or Houdini-like disguises For d**h defying escape Avoid the tap on the shoulder From that one with a 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 and further I drift Get swept out in the riptide Where a part of me wants To lie 'neath the ways of sorrow and tears Sink to the bottom and linger there the rest of my years Walk among the mild sea of bones Of my fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers Feel their blood flowing away Send the soul it's way
