Blood Is Blood – Mary Gauthier

Clouds are spreading like bruises on the evening sky
I walk the streets alone again tonight
It starts to rain, still I search each passing face
Blood is blood and blood don’t wash away
Blood is blood and blood don’t wash away

When I was a child, they told me she loved me too much
She didn’t keep me ’cause my mother loved me too much
She left without a trail, she left without a trace
But blood is blood and blood don’t wash away
Blood is blood and blood don’t wash away

I got a heart that’s ripped
I got a soul that’s torn
I got a hole in me like I was never born

Blood is thicker than water, blood is bound by God
I don’t know who I am, I don’t know who I’m not
I don’t know my name, I can’t find my place
But blood is blood (Blood is blood)
And blood don’t wash away
Blood is blood (Blood is blood)
And blood don’t wash away

Blood is blood (Blood is blood)
And blood don’t wash away
Blood is blood (Blood is blood)
And blood don’t wash away
I walk the streets alone again tonight
