Calexico Bloodflow
Her eyes are closed now That final breath is near She lets go of my hand And I'm falling to a sea of tears And search for the trail that we both riding Lost sometime ago Now I'm stranded on the mountain's edge And there's only one way back Down and down I go Into the ground where the bad seeds are sown And take route and pull me further in Long and long and longer it takes Good luck's gone and there's no more brakes Just the ground beneath that shakes and gives way Swallowed up home There ain't much now I can pull No stuntman surprises or Houdini that disguises For death defying escape Avoid the tap on the shoulder From that one with the long black cape Just to see those eyes of her shine Is worth any sum or length of time That would fill that space Where her love once flowed But the more I resist The further and further I drift Get swept out in the riptide Where my heart in me wants To lie 'neath the waves of sorrow and tears Sink to the bottom and linger there the rest of my years Walk among the mild sea bones Of my fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers Feel their blood flowing, they send the soul its way © LUNADA BAY;
