Blood
Eternal Bond: Unraveling the Depths of Life and Loss in Brian Bulger's 'Blood'
Lyrics
I'll be all washed up when the grave is mine
I'll be in a state of despair when I reach the end of my life
Any love is fine
Any form of love is acceptable
Bring out the China, pull the blinds
Celebrate with fine china, close the curtains
Whole damn world is fine
The entire world is satisfactory as it is
I'll forget the voice of my mother then
I will lose the memory of my mother's voice
Now just around the bend
The end of life is imminent
No life in these old limbs
No vitality remains in these old limbs
Just the dirt and I again
Only the earth and I will be left
Just with our fingers crossed
We hope for the best, anticipating a positive outcome
You and I were wrong
We, as a pair, made a mistake
Just as we count a cost
We acknowledge and calculate the consequences
You and I belong
We, as a pair, have a place or purpose together
Ain't no blood return the favor
No reciprocation of blood ties
You and I belong
We, as a pair, have a place or purpose together
Ain't no washing in the river
No purification or redemption in the river
You and I belong
We, as a pair, have a place or purpose together
I'll be some sick man when they take these hands
I will be weakened or ill when my hands are taken away
And fold em to a plan
They will manipulate or control my hands according to a plan
There's no life in these old limbs
No vitality remains in these old limbs
The dirt and I again
Only the earth and I will be left
