Flesh Of My Flesh

Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Like a story told you've always known
You took my breath in the daylight
You stole my heart like a thief in the night

And I am not a perfect man
I've unclean lips and soiled hands
But from the soil we will rise
For we are dust with a love that never dies

You are my shelter
You are my home
Flesh of my flesh
Bone of my bone

You undress me of my bitterness
And roll away my pride with one kiss
For we are clothed in majesty
Beneath our rags of poverty

And I will spend my days beside you
For beauty that is shared is beauty true
We will share the wine, we will share the bread
We will share our home, we will share our bed

You are my shelter
You are my home
Flesh of my flesh
Bone of my bone
