David Gray - Flesh Lyrics
As the bell must strike the hourAs the west must stab the sunSo our heartsMust heed the flowOf deeper tides that runFar beyond the bare indifferenceThat prosperity esteemsWhere the spiritRaves and dancesThrough our very veinsAt winters edge you found meBy the fields of wild goldMy hands still filled with ashesFrom fires long coldYou pulled me from the wreckageOf bitterness and blameFlung open the pageAnd put some flesh onThe bones of my dreamsOn the streetsThe blossom snowingAnd the drum is beating slowAnd I hear you speak so clearWell Im slicing through the fearSetting all the beaconsBlazing, baby oh!Its staring out plainer than everBrighter than all the foolsGold that gleamsIts simply now or neverPutting flesh on the bonesOf my dreamsPutting flesh on the bonesOf my dreamsPutting flesh on the bonesOf my dreamsAnd they can plunderThe cave of sorrowsThey can strip the gallery bareTry to build a fenceAround the visionsIn our heads, choke every sparkIn a cloak of despairBut we got somethingThey cant stifleWith their price tagsAnd picture framesGot a flower for every riflePutting flesh on the bones of my dreams
