Rush of Blood Lyrics by Bernard Fanning

Civil Dusk

2016

[Verse 1]
This quiet resignation in the corners of your eyes
A bleak and brutal sadness
Nobody could contrive
No ocean-deep discussion
Could unravel or unwind
There’s freedom to your movement
When the music hits its stride
So delicately cadenced
Self-evidently right
No cluster of sweet melody
Could dampen or outshine
[Chorus]
In a rush of blood
I threw it all away
Oh lord, what was I thinking of that day?
[Verse 2]
Blackbird at your window
(Blackbird)
Singin' blue into the day
(Blue day)
By the time you turned to listen
(Blackbird)
Sang and up and flew away
(Flew away)
Love song of devotion
(Love song)
So ever delicately played
(Blackbird)
Could pretend to replace
[Chorus]
In a rush of blood
I threw it all away
Oh lord, what was I thinking of that day?
[Outro]
Lingered long upon my lips
Then up and flew away
(Blackbird)
Singin' up a blue, blue day
(Blue day)
She up and flew away
(Blackbird)
Singin' up a blue, blue day
