Lyrics Blood On Her Gown - Argyle Goolsby

Blood On Her Gown

That time was crystalline.
Was polished and refined
Inside our house the windows gently opened wide
Spirited curtains danced a waltz, and whipped he breeze
But now I wake and there is no one here but me.
And this…
Blood on her gown.
I have tried so hard to draw the horror out
I’ve tried.
Oh I’ve tried.
But the crimson stains are loyal and devout
Your last words they shut me out with mocking pride
So I cut the lock of your heart to come inside
Be it knife or song, don’t doubt me wrong
My hands will feel the warmth that once was inside my little gushing bride
Blood on her gown.
Oh this night is ruined.
I have torn it down
Oh I’ve tried.
Lord, I’ve tried to dissolve the horror deep into a drown
Your last words they shut me out with mocking pride
So I cut the lock of your heart to come inside
Be it knife or song, don’t doubt me wrong
My hands will feel the warmth that once was inside my little gushing bride
For once the sound of sparrows sealed the empty space
For once a human form brought something else than rage
For once my teeth did not draw blood so they could smile
For once my hands did hold instead of lashing out
But you took it all away.
Yeah, you took it all away
Blood on her gown.
I have tried so hard to draw the horror out
Oh I’ve tired and I’ve tried to engender restoration of the white
But as night proceeds her solvent rain it’s so clear to me
This stain can never be, this stain will never be washed away
