Richard Thompson – Bones Of Gilead lyrics
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
No checkpoint will stop me
There is no plan
Like an earthquake, I'll rock you
Run if you can

[Chorus]
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No ribcage can hold me
No loving cup
I don't fit your wise world
I tear it up

[Chorus]
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead
By the flesh of Gilead
By the bones of Gilead

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
False prophets accuse me
Their days are few
I heal all before me
I will heal you

[Chorus]
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
