Flesh And Blood Lyrics - Shine On - Sarah Mclachlan

Desire is no cautious creature 

Insatiable like raging fire 

A heat is rising all around 

My senses so alive 

It searches out the darkest places 

No fear of walls or ways concealed 

Set alight my secret longings 

All revealed when I'm near you 

Logic escapes me and I can't breathe 

'Cause you burn to my bones 

Like you're all I've ever known 

Let thunder crash let rivers flood 

If all we are is flesh and blood 

The fury of the storm confounds me 

Violence and beauty all collide 

In all my animal emotions I can't fight this tide 

'Cause you are the wave that pulls me under 

Ravage me from head to heart 

And all my careful calculations 

Fall apart when I'm near you 

Logic escapes me, and I can't breathe 

'Cause you burn to my bones 

Like you're all I've ever known 

Let thunder crash let rivers flood 

If all we are is flesh and blood 

Ooh ooh 

Let thunder crash let rivers flood 

If all we are is flesh and blood 

'Cause you burn to my bones 

Like you're all I've ever known 

Let thunder crash let rivers flood 

If all we are is flesh and blood 

Ooh ooh 

Let thunder crash let rivers flood 

If all we are is flesh and blood 

Ooh ooh 

Let thunder crash let rivers flood 

If all we are is flesh and blood 

Come together, fall apart 

We build our towers with paper walls 

As if we have any control, let's burn it all
