Bad Blood

Slow river, midsummer

I felt your breath as we lay in slumber

Cool water laced with silver

Fell asleep with my lost lover

No disguise in your eyes, let yourself

Be seen under sun-bleached skies

How did we find shadow? I know you’ll go

You can’t stay still and the river must flow

But there’s bad in the blood

Now it flows, it can’t help but flood

And the grace I recall

A blurred print; was it real at all?

It feels too much to lose

Lost summers of our youth

Be still, the water, and we can find the truth

Sun down

Flower crown

Moonlit path take us back to town

We’ll get away

We’re the same

I’d give it all to re-live that day

But there’s bad in the blood

Now it flows, it can’t help but flood

And the grace I recall

A blurred print; was it real at all?

It feels too much to lose

Lost summers of our youth

But there’s bad in the blood

Now it flows, it can’t help but flood

And the grace I recall

A blurred print; was it real at all?

It feels too much to lose

Lost summers of our youth

Be still, the water, and we can find the truth
