Blood, Sweat, Tears

from City Garden by Jess Klein

lyrics

You want a love and you fight to get.
It gives you hell and it ain't done yet.
You want a lie or you want the truth?
Love is the law and you are the proof.
You cry and cry but you never come out clean.
But you will try 'till the dirt below looks green.

You want my blood, sweat, tears.
You want my life, my breath, my fear.
I gave you moonlight.
Soft kisses for years.
But you want my blood, sweat, tears.

You got a pass for a greyhound bus.
You brought a sign said NY or bust.
You got a vision the woman said.
You gotta live out what's in your head.
You better dance til your feet beg for an end.
Cause girl tomorrow, you're on that bus again.

You want my blood, sweat, tears.
You want my love, my death, my fear.
I gave you moonlight.
Soft kisses for years.
But you want my blood, sweat, tears.

You want my blood, sweat, tears.
You want my life, my breath, my fear.
I gave you moonlight.
Soft kisses for years.
But you want my blood, sweat, tears.
