By Blood - Shovels & Rope

I never miss you, you’re always here

Behind the door or in the rear view mirror

How could I, dear?

There is no space

There is no time

But we are here

And you are mine

It’s Halloween in my old hometown

Mother’s quiet in her sleeping gown

You’re a queen, I’m your clown

Let’s go strolling through the town

Through the crowd

Through whirling lights

On city nights

By blood

At the end of the day she cries for you

None of my songs or my love or my kisses will do

But that love

That honest love that makes you wait

That alters fate

Can separate

Or suffocate

But I am yours

By blood

By the flood

Or other stuff

By grace

By faith

Or the great hand
