Songtext von Veda (1 Pierce Dr.)

Take my blood and take my marrow Scrape the meal from my bone Pierce my heart if you please with your arrow Veda, my darling, come home Darling child, for you I labor Grease and glass in my skin Though you sneer and crack wise, I won't waver Veda, my darling, come in, come in Sweet thing, let me dress you for bed Now slip that gown off your head I'll kiss you one thousand times, my angel Close your eyes, and my savage mind Will fashion a day when you'd be tender When you'd be kind For you see the star beneath which you were delivered Gave you cold-hearted pride You look down on your mother who loves you You take without grace Though it smarts, I don't mind If your lover has done you wrong You slipped as you gripped his gun And found yourself o'er his lifeless body Child, I'd rush to turn myself in And claim that it was my sin To spare you Yes, for darling, in this town of light and shadow Dreams become crooked and low If I've lost my way it was only to please you Veda, my darling, you already know
