Blood And Water Lyrics - Privateering - Mark Knopfler

Blood and water bound to overflow 

Blood and water bound to overflow 

Well there's no more high water 

But the Old Man's just waiting, I know 

He was sent up on the levee 

Now they've gone up country 

They won't do nothing for you now 

And don't go asking me 

They've gone - it's all over here 

Sometimes I'd see her passing 

With the evening coming on 

I've seen you on her pathway 

I've seen you at dawn 

Look over yonder at that empty shack 

You know as well as I do 

They ain't coming back 

They're gone - it's all over here

Blood and water bound to overflow 

Well there's no more high water 

But the Old Man's just waiting, I know 

So many promises 

We broke them, every one 

Kept people on the levees 

With sherrifs and shotguns 

They're gone - it's all over here 

Look over yonder at that empty shack 

You know as well as I do 

They ain't coming back 

They're gone - it's all over here
