Flesh And Blood

Mary Black

If we leave here today

We could be a thousand miles away

Take to that road, see how far it goes

And on that great ocean road

Oh the country's in our bones

All the trouble that you know

Empties out as you go



Oh walk with me, talk with me

Tell me your stories

I'll do my best to understand you

You're flesh and blood, flesh and blood

Don't refuse me your love

More than words can express

More than wealth or success



Oh there's a thousand things to do

So let's start here with me and you

All the pain that you feel

All the hurt that seems so real



Oh come on, walk with me, talk with me

Tell me your stories

I'll do my very best to understand you

You're flesh and blood



You can't go on holding back the flooding river

Keeping all that fear inside

I understand how trouble haunts you

It haunts me, too

Yes, and I do know how you feel



Oh there's a thousand things to do

So let's start here with me and you

Gonna take a little time

Let's see what we can find



Oh come on, walk with me, talk with me

Tell me your stories

I'll do my best to understand you



Oh won't you walk with me, talk with me

Tell me your stories

I'll do my very best to understand you

You're flesh and blood, flesh and blood

You're flesh and blood
