Flesh Lyrics - Flesh - David Gray

As the bell must strike the hour 

as the west must stab the sun 

so our hearts 

must heed the flow 

of deeper tides that run 

far beyond the bare indifference 

that prosperity esteems 

where the spirit 

raves and dances 

through our very veins 

At winters edge you found me 

by the fields of wild gold 

my hands still filled with ashes 

from fires long cold 

you pulled me from the wreckage 

of bitterness and blame 

flung open the page 

and put some flesh on 

the bones of my dreams

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

On the streets 

the blossom snowing 

and the drum is beating slow 

and I hear you speak so clear 

well I'm slicing through the fear 

setting all the beacons 

blazing, baby oh! 

it's staring out plainer than ever 

brighter than all the fools 

gold that gleams 

it's simply now or never 

putting flesh on the bones 

of my dreams 

Putting flesh on the bones 

of my dreams 

putting flesh on the bones 

of my dreams 

Photos 

And they can plunder 

the cave of sorrows 

they can strip the gallery bare 

try to build a fence 

around the visions 

in our heads, choke every spark 

in a cloak of despair 

but we got something 

they can't stifle 

with their price tags 

and picture frames 

got a flower for every rifle 

putting flesh on the bones of my dreams
