Mark Knopfler Lyrics for Song: Blood And Water
 Lyrics for Album: Privateering [2012]
 
 
 
 36399>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
