Blood And Water

Blood And Water - Mark Knopfler
Blood and water bound to overflow

Blood and water bound to overflow

Well theres no more high water

But the Old Mans just waiting, I know

He was sent up on the levee

Now theyve gone up country

They wont do nothing for you now
And dont go asking me

Theyve gone - its all over here

Sometimes Id see her passing
With the evening coming on

Ive seen you on her pathway

Ive seen you at dawn

Look over yonder at that empty shack

You know as well as I do

They aint coming back
Theyre gone - its all over here

Blood and water bound to overflow

Blood and water bound to overflow

Well theres no more high water

But the Old Mans just waiting, I know

So many promises
We broke them, every one

Kept people on the levees

With sherrifs and shotguns

Theyre gone - its all over here

Look over yonder at that empty shack

You know as well as I do
They aint coming back

Theyre gone - its all over here

Blood and water bound to overflow

Blood and water bound to overflow

Well theres no more high water

No more high water

Theres no more high water

But the Old Mans just waiting, I know
