Blood Will Tell lyrics

I did my best to carry on

I did my best to do my best

I did what any living son

would have done at your behest

We wear our veils fairly well

at least the ones I recognize

the others, I can barely tell

not much light behind those eyes

And I can't go on

singing the same song

and I won't go on

playing the same song

I was among the shouldering

the ones who watched the clock unwind

was I among the smouldering

or have I been unkind

And I can't go on

singing the same song

and I won't go on

hearing the same song

And if you were to cry

cry tonite

and if you were to cry

cry tonite

and if you were to cry

cry tonite

and if you were to cry

cry tonite

And I won't go on

Singing the same song
