Foy Vance - Bailie's Blood lyrics

Out of the earth comes blessing and curse And a famine, defeat my feast I only wanna be last, ‘cause I wanna be first. Greed. Wind blows strong keeps me in my place, But there's so much here, offered, which I can't leave Cant find anywhere to turn my face but to give So much good, still in the blood, oh the blood So much good, still in the blood, oh the blood Currents grows strong, I must swim against To the rock, I can find and pace my breath, Gain my strength and shake the fence, Even if it ends in d**h, When the fires have been quenched by the flood or the blood When the fires have been quenched by the flood or the blood I've known the love of a woman, in her darkest hours. And I've beckoned to the calling of her room, The road was so steep and sweet it was strong like flowers But her bed smelled like a tomb Who are these people round me telling me What are these lies? I gotta watch my back as they break my bones But I can't see for the blood in my eyes Home, take me home Gotta move real fast but I'm fast in the mud or the blood Gotta move real fast but I'm fast in the mud or the blood Smoke fills a room and I can't breathe Cannot see but I have my wife And I've got so much, so little to bequeath Life, oh life! When the fires have been quenched by the flood or the blood When the fires have been quenched by the flood or the blood I gotta move real fast but I'm fast in the mud or the blood I gotta move real fast but I'm fast in the mud or the blood Or the blood, tell me bout the blood! I gotta move real fast ‘cause im fast in the mud or the blood Or the blood, or the blood I gotta move real fast but I'm fast in the mud or the blood Or the blood, tell me ‘bout the blood! I gotta move real fast but I'm fast in the mud or the blood I gotta move real fast but I'm fast in the mud or the blood
