Flesh And Blood Lyrics - Singles - Joe Henry

Come sit beside me 

That'll do for now 

The night has come and left me 

Just the light that you allow 

Come speak my name 

Fill my head with, oh, such foolish dreams 

My flesh and blood is no more real to me 

Than what they seem 

My love for you is burning 

Like a spark on a fuse 

I feel your mark upon me now 

As surely as the hand that leaves a bruise 

Life is for the living 

And life comes hard for some 

Well, the rest of us were flesh and blood 

Make it hard all on our own 

All I ever wanted 

Was the freedom to refuse 

Or something of my own to love enough 

To hate to lose 

The fever in my brain 

Is leaving smoke behind my eyes 

When the part of me that wants to change 

Fights the part of me that tries 

Now you see a gold light 

'Cause I've turned the gold light on 

Sometimes God knows 

You've got to learn to shine, shine on your own 

I stepped out of darkness and for a moment 

I'm only living by your kiss 

And just for now our flesh and blood 

Is no more real to me than this 

No more real to me than this 

Aaa, than this
