The Bayou, hemorrhaging water like an open wound. Hope and our ultimate destiny from unlikely sources.
lyrics
There is blood on the bayou
In the time of restraint
And for those who can't hear it
It will call you again
There is blood on the bayou
In the heat of her prime
She has waited for centuries
For the swallow of time
And for those who can't hear it
Signs will shatter the night
We will hold you accountable
What for needs be made right
There is blood וn the bayou
All you treacherous souls
Better start counting blessings
While the spirit train rolls
Up the blood of the Bayou
Woman you cannot be denied
Like the sink in your kitchen
Wash the drawers on the line
I am blinded by that incense they grind
Let it be who still sees
Ancient branches and trees
Take us off of our knees
To wash the blood off the bayou
For a moment he prays
To bring it all into order
While the riverboat sways
In the blood of the bayou
and what's left of the rain
Helps us start it all over
And over again
Weary feet of the soldier
Who's forgotten his name
Carries poor boys with heart-wounds
To where the fine ladies wait
Past the blood of the bayou
And what's left once you know
That the rain in the bathhouse
Rightly turns into snow
With the blood of the bayou
