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 Explain Request ×
