Blood Songtext
von The Middle East

Older brother, restless soul, lie down
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth
And you′ll hear your sister sleep talking saying your hair is long
But not long enough to reach home to me
But your beard someday might be
And she woke up in a cold sweat on the floor
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four

And beside a jar of 2 cent coins that are no good no more
She'll lay it aside
Older father, weary soul, you′ll drive
Back to the home you made on the mountainside


With that ugly terrible thing
With papers for divorce and a lonely ring
A lonely ring
Sit on your porch
And pluck your strings
Oh, and you'll find somebody you can blame
And you'll find a creak that runs out into the sea
And you′ll find the peace of the Lord

Grandfather, weary soul, you′ll fly
Through your life once more before you die
Since our grandma passed away

You've waited for forever and a day
Just to die
And someday soon you will die
Oh, it was the only woman you ever loved
That got burnt by the sun to often when she was young
And the cancer spread, it ran into her body and her blood
And there is nothing you can do about it now
