Blood Escaping Man Lyrics
Closer, she smiles, telling me not to worry
I said I didn’t know, and I don’t now
But I won’t let you fall if you come down
Ooh, she was waiting
On the wine dark sea, with skin and lips of salt
Better to give to thee
Than to all the senators in the hall
And we oh, oh, oh, for knowing all
That we never know
And we oh, oh, oh, for knowing all
That we never know
Well, the suitors, they’re complaining
It’s a bitter taste of man
I seen them eating and drinking
And vying for her hand
I seen her walking too
Up the widow's walk
I tell her to keep it on
I tell her, don't give up
I swear that he's coming
Just wait a little more time
‘Cause there's been a dead reckoning with the government
And they think they know their plan
They're drawing all their lots to see
Who's the better man
And then the winner come
And grabs her in stride
And takes her to bed
And makes her their bride
But I reckon he gonna come home
And see you making it with his wife
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I've seen the blood escaping man
But do not overlook him if you can
I, I, I've seen the blood escaping man
But do not overlook him
In her heart she holds the candle
That guides her through the night
She came to me in secret
And whispered at first light
I said, “Please madame for all your beauty
It’s not me you want
I saw a bum in town
Whose body, it leaves no blood
Today as the suitors come
There's a ragged beggar behind”
Well, I'd love to be your lover
But there's a ragged beggar behind
Yeah, I've seen the blood escaping man
But do not overlook him if you can
I, I, I've seen the blood escaping man
But do not overlook him
In your heart you hold the light that leads you
Underneath the rags, it is your man
I said I didn’t know, and I don’t now
But I won’t let you fall if you come down
Ooh, she was waiting
On the wine dark sea, with skin and lips of salt
Better to give to thee
Than to all the senators in the hall
And we oh, oh, oh, for knowing all
That we never know
And we oh, oh, oh, for knowing all
That we never know
It’s a bitter taste of man
I seen them eating and drinking
And vying for her hand
I seen her walking too
Up the widow's walk
I tell her to keep it on
I tell her, don't give up
I swear that he's coming
Just wait a little more time
And they think they know their plan
They're drawing all their lots to see
Who's the better man
And then the winner come
And grabs her in stride
And takes her to bed
And makes her their bride
But I reckon he gonna come home
And see you making it with his wife
I've seen the blood escaping man
But do not overlook him if you can
I, I, I've seen the blood escaping man
But do not overlook him
That guides her through the night
She came to me in secret
And whispered at first light
I said, “Please madame for all your beauty
It’s not me you want
I saw a bum in town
Whose body, it leaves no blood
Today as the suitors come
There's a ragged beggar behind”
But there's a ragged beggar behind
But do not overlook him if you can
I, I, I've seen the blood escaping man
But do not overlook him
In your heart you hold the light that leads you
Underneath the rags, it is your man
