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
