Lyrics

blood from a stone

1
got a stone inside my heart now / got a dust storm in my head
and my tears have all been cried out like a dried-up river bed
oh but baby I'm still searchin' for the sweet flower of your love
then the heavens open / and you come down from up above

ch
yeah you come down / down like rain
to bring me to my own
yeah you draw love from barren ground
and you bring blood from a stone

2
well I'm tryna make the river run when the river's all run dry
and I'm tryna make the rain fall out of a clear blue sky
tryna make a flower grow from the burning desert sand
but the seeds of new life are right there in your hand

ch
and you come down / down like rain
to bring me to my own
yeah you bring love from barren ground
and you bring blood from a stone

solo

ch
then you come down / down like rain
where no life could have grown
yeah you draw love from barren ground
and you bring blood from a stone
