Text

CHer eyes and words are sCo icy

AmOh but she burns

FLike rum on tChe fire

CHot and fast and anCgry

CAs she can be

AmI walk my daFys on a wireC.

FIt looks uglyAm, but iFts clean,Am

FOh mommAma, dont fuss ovDmer me.C

FThe way she tellsAm me Im hers and sheC is mine

FOpen hand or closAmed fist would beC fine

FThe blood is rare anDmd sweet as cherry wine.C

CCalls of guilty faCll on me

CAll while she stAmains

FThe sheets of somCe other

CThrown at me so poCwerfully

CJust like she thAmrows with the arm Fof her brotheCr

FBut I wantAm it, its aF crimeAm

FThat shes not aAmround most ofDm the time.C

FThe way she shoAmws me Im hers and Cshe is mine

FOpen hand or closAmed fist would beC fine

FBlood is rare and swDmeet as cherry wine.C

CHer fight and furCy is fiery

COh but she loAmves

FLike sleep to tChe freezing

CSweet and right and meCrciful

CIm all but wasAmhed

FIn the tide ofC her breathing.

FAnd its worthAm it, its diFvineAm

FAnd I haAmve this some oDmf the time.C

FThe way she shoAmws me Im hers and Cshe is mine

FOpen hand or closAmed fist would beC fine

FThe blood is rare anDmd sweet as cherry wine.C
