Moments in a minor key

BLOOD & BONES

Standing on the Bridge of Sighs
And looking down, the water's out
We've had our run, there is no doubt
We're all washed up with the tide

Still standing on the Bridge of Sighs
Our cash is blown, it's all been spent
In every way we only rent
We're all washed up with the tide

Seems to me there's more to this than meets the eye
Something more than just the life we're living
Without a soul, we're nothing more than
Blood and Bones.

Hanging from the Bridge of Sighs
The whole thing's gone and can't be had
From "Don't Look Now" that something bad
Is all washed out with the tide

Now falling from the Bridge of Sighs
The paper only masks the crack
Like Thomas Mann's von Aschenbach
We're all washed out with the tide
