Lyrics Richard Thompson – Bones Of Gilead
Text:
What’s my name? My name is trouble
Trouble of the tender kind
From the ruin, from the rubble
I will rise like London Pride
No checkpoint will stop me
There is no plan
Like an earthquake I’ll rock you
Run if you can
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
What’s my name? My name is heartbreak
Heartbreak of the giving kind
I will come and whisper sweetness
Sweetness that will dawn your mind
No rib cage can hold me
No loving cup
I don’t fit your wise world
I tear it up
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
What’s my name? Just call me Micah
Micah like the Bible says
I can’t help it, it’s within me
Runes are written on my face
False prophets accuse me
Their days are few
I will heal you
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
