Corin Tucker Band Blood, Bones, and Sand lyrics

This morning I woke and I found I'm no longer alone
The first stirrings were deep
knew that you needed me and I you
My old life is dead, I am glad it is shed, torn away
I know now that my gift is my talent to give

We are blood, bones and sand
We break there just the same
I'll find the strength that I need if I dig underneath
I will unearth a different self

Delicate, small and sweet,

her smile like the sun starts my day
The joy that she brings like the treasure of kings far away
But how can I keep you safe in a world full of violence
Darling you know it's true, nothing I wouldn't do

We are blood, bones and sand
We break there just the same
I'll find the strength that I need if I dig underneath
I will unearth a different self
