Blood Song

Who's gone, buried in the well?
Who's gone, buried in the well?
Nobody knew him, he had only arrived

Who's gonna break it to his wife?
Who's gonna break it to his wife?
She died giving birth to her fifth and final one...

Who's gonna rescue all his sons?
Who's gonna rescue all his sons?
Bares a heavy burden, but you could give them away...

Who's got a home for them to stay?
You can't sell the children, but there's hell to be payed

And I'm not giving these orphans away...

So, I'll get no more sleep at night
I'll get no more sleep at night...
I'll no longer dream...

Who's gone, swallowed by the sea?
Who's gone, swallowed by the sea?
She was only twenty, but she fucked like thirty three

Who's gonna round up all her things?
Who's gonna round up all her things?

Nobody loved her, but they liked it when she'd sing

Who's got a bell for us to ring?
We won't make a sound 'till her body's in the ground...

And I'm admitting the voice sounded strange...

Said, "You'll no longer sleep at night
You'll get no more sleep at night
You'll no longer dream."

You won't get no sleep...
