Bailie's Blood - Foy Vance

Out of the earth comes blessing and curse

And a famine, defeat my feast

I only wanna be last, ‘cause I wanna be first.

Greed.

Wind blows strong keeps me in my place,

But there’s so much here, offered, which I can’t leave

Cant find anywhere to turn my face but to give

So much good, still in the blood, oh the blood

So much good, still in the blood, oh the blood

Currents grows strong, I must swim against

To the rock, I can find and pace my breath,

Gain my strength and shake the fence,

Even if it ends in death,

When the fires have been quenched by the flood or the blood

When the fires have been quenched by the flood or the blood

I’ve known the love of a woman, in her darkest hours.

And I’ve beckoned to the calling of her room,

The road was so steep and sweet it was strong like flowers

But her bed smelled like a tomb

Who are these people round me telling me

What are these lies?

I gotta watch my back as they break my bones

But I can’t see for the blood in my eyes

Home, take me home

Gotta move real fast but I’m fast in the mud or the blood

Gotta move real fast but I’m fast in the mud or the blood

Smoke fills a room and I can’t breathe

Cannot see but I have my wife

And I’ve got so much, so little to bequeath

Life, oh life!

When the fires have been quenched by the flood or the blood

When the fires have been quenched by the flood or the blood

I gotta move real fast but I’m fast in the mud or the blood

I gotta move real fast but I’m fast in the mud or the blood

Or the blood, tell me bout the blood!

I gotta move real fast ‘cause im fast in the mud or the blood

Or the blood, or the blood

I gotta move real fast but I’m fast in the mud or the blood

Or the blood, tell me ‘bout the blood!

I gotta move real fast but I’m fast in the mud or the blood

I gotta move real fast but I’m fast in the mud or the blood
