BLOOD
Lyrics by Moira Murphy

Verse 1
Dry lips taste death on salty seas
Are you beyond the swell?
I feel brittle sand ‘neath my knees
It knows, but it won’t tell me—
Pre-Chorus
Where are you?
Where are you?

Chorus
In the mist of dreams I sense you,
Damp on my skin, absorbed like tears
I need you, stay in my blood.
I am you, we are one.

Verse 2
Numb hands in snow will freeze
If I dig my way to Hell.
Truths hide in tendrils of jungle trees,
They know, but they won’t tell me—
Pre-Chorus
Where are you?
Where are you?

Chorus
In the mist of dreams I sense you,
Damp on my skin, absorbed like tears
I need you, stay in my blood.
I am you, we are one.

Verse 3
I wake to dream, I dream to see
Aural visions of the knell.
Through the haze your hand
Reaches out to me,
But where? Why won’t they won’t tell me—
Pre-Chorus
Where are you?
Where are you?

Chorus
In the mist of dreams I sense you,
Damp on my skin, absorbed like tears
I need you, stay in my blood.
I am you, we are one.
