lyrics

BLOODSTAINED HANDS

She huffs and she puffs as she runs through the hall
She keeps all her goals in her locket
And all of her friends at the edge of the stall
They keep all their hands in their pockets

Jemima you fell to Bacchus and his pards
Your daughters have lost all their pearls
Your son he is old, but your father sees stars
He lost all his lust for the girls

Hold me now in the rain and the moonlight
Don’t you know that the time is just right
I can tell, baby, by the way you stand
Get up now in the rain and the moonlight
Don’t you know that the soul is just right
I can tell by your bloodstained hands

Now, why, oh, why father did you forsake us?
We did nothing wrong to deserve this
I just loved your daughter, now she caused a fuss
Her rash, childish ways make you nervous

Get up now in the rain and the moonlight
Don’t you know that the time is just right
I can tell, baby, by the way you stand
Get up now in the rain and the moonlight
Don’t you know that the soul is just right
I can tell by your bloodstained hands

Tonight, ‘neath the trees
Something died in the cool night breeze
There’s a necklace there
It’s not an easy thing to repair

Get up now in the rain and the moonlight
Don’t you know that the time is just right
I can tell, baby, by the way you stand
You always hoped that it would be better
The beauty burst when you just met her
Heal me now with the palms up your bloodstained hands

Do-do-do, yeah
