Blood - 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
