Bitterroot Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C F C G (2x) C
In the Bitterroot, the biggest sky
The valley wide, the mountain high
The holy girl whose smile was light
The crescent moon, the bird in flight
The chorus rising higher and higher
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
And so they sang their songs of praise
In Revelation and Judgment Day
Words of faith in their beliefs
In the height of joy and the depths of grief
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
That was his life, his every day
Took in every word they'd say
Truth being turned in every way
And he saw the cracks in the feet of clay
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C F C G C G
And so he sang along with them
His heart as empty as the wind
He never even heard the call
Of mercy offered up to all
Just the chorus in the telephone wires
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
Bread and water, blood and fire
