lyrics

22) Bare Hands
(words by m.litton / music by r.popp, d.melody, & r.holden)

The clouds are black, the moon hangs low
I wait for you by the ruined road
In my hand a knife, in my heart the pain
This lonely ache that speaks your name
I wanna hold you, wanna feel you with my bare hands

The winter mist lays on the pond
The hoarfrost gleams as you walk along
My breath comes hot, my breath comes quick
Like this knife I hold with the silver tip
I wanna hold you, wanna kill you with my bare hands

I rip the seam of your cotton dress
I grab your soft ‘n tremblin’ breast
I drive the blade deep in your bowels
In a feast ofn lust I scream ‘n howl
I wanna hold you, wanna feel you
Wanna love you, wanna kill you with my bare hands

The clouds are black, the moon hangs low
I lay you down by the ruined road...
