Blood

from Zephyr (LP) by Gold Light

lyrics

In the summer of '91 back when I was still young
Boys climbing up in trees fallin' down scrapin' their knees
My daddy come and pick me up carry me home stitch me up
He said "Boy, you better act tough, it ain't nothing but blood".

In the spring of '83 my mother gave birth to me
Brand new branch on the family tree growing roots forming leaves
Family traits from my father's side met their match in my mother's eyes
And for this much I am much obliged for blood that forms the ties that bind

In the fall of '73 my mother turned 18
Her daddy drove her down bus station on the edge of town
Never the kind to say much but as that bus pulled on up
He said "Babe, you are my blood, and that'll always be enough".

In the winter of '51 grandaddy got his gun
Shipped him off to some foreign place killed a man never saw his face
And the blood that was shed never washed off of his hands
He said "In God I have put my trust, but he's spilled too much of my brothers' blood".

Well the years they come and go some move fast some move slow
And the funny thing about time it can move forward or it can rewind
And the stories get retold ain't no rainbow if there ain't no gold
Cus in the end only love remains comes from the blood running in your veins
