Artist/Band: Mark Knopfler
Lyrics for Song: Blood And Water
Lyrics for Album: Privateering [2012]



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

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



Blood and water bound to overflow

Blood and water bound to overflow

Well there's no more high water

No more high water

There's no more high water

But the Old Man's just waiting, I know
