Flesh and Blood

written by: Sarah McLachlan, Hillary Lindsey and Blair Daly

Lyrics

Desire is no cautious creature
Insatiable like raging fire
A heat is rising all around
My senses so alive
It searches out the darkest places
No fear of walls or ways concealed
Set alight my secret longings
All revealed when I’m near you

Logic escapes me and I can’t breathe
‘Cause you burn to my bones
Like you’re all I’ve ever known
Let thunder crash let rivers flood
If all we are is flesh and blood

The fury of the storm confounds me
Violence and beauty all collide
In all my animal emotions I can’t fight this tide
‘Cause you are the wave that pulls me under
Ravage me from head to heart
And all my careful calculations
Fall apart when I’m near you

Logic escapes me, and I can’t breathe
‘Cause you burn to my bones
Like you’re all I’ve ever known
Let thunder crash let rivers flood
If all we are is flesh and blood
Let thunder crash let rivers flood
If all we are is flesh and blood

‘Cause you burn to my bones
Like you’re all I’ve ever known
Let thunder crash let rivers flood
If all we are is flesh and blood

Let thunder crash let rivers flood
If all we are is flesh and blood

Let thunder crash let rivers flood
If all we are is flesh and blood

Come together, fall apart
We build our towers with paper walls
As if we have any control lets burn it all…
