Mark Knopfler "Blood and Water" lyrics

Blood and Water

Blood and water bound to overflowBlood and water bound to overflowWell there's no more high waterBut the Old Man's just waiting, I know

He was sent up on the leveeNow they've gone up countryThey won't do nothing for you nowAnd don't go asking meThey've gone - it's all over hereSometimes I'd see her passingWith the evening coming onI've seen you on her pathwayI've seen you at dawnLook over yonder at that empty shackYou know as well as I doThey ain't coming backThey're gone - it's all over here

Blood and water bound to overflowBlood and water bound to overflowWell there's no more high waterBut the Old Man's just waiting, I know

So many promisesWe broke them, every oneKept people on the leveesWith sheriffs and shotgunsThey're gone - it's all over hereLook over yonder at that empty shackYou know as well as I doThey ain't coming backThey're gone - it's all over here

Blood and water bound to overflowBlood and water bound to overflowWell there's no more high waterNo more high waterThere's no more high waterBut the Old Man's just waiting, I know
