The Bitter Taste Of Red
Beginning 20 years ago with a something a friend said about her childhood and since then going in different directions with how to write a song about family violence, I`m almost sure this is captures the feeling I had at the time.

The Bitter Taste Of Red
can you live another life
erase the senses of the heart
make a blessing from a curse
change the arc of a star
all the rainbow ribbons
momma fastened through her hair
Jenny keeps with daddy`s laugh
like braids through despair
still feels her friend`s eyes
they never lingered or traced
eyes that saw past
the mark upon her face
the cool touch of blue
cool touch of blue
that`s how she learnt
the cool touch of blue
fell into a fire
when she was born into this world
Jenny turned herself to water
like a helpful little girl
one spark in the silence
between a woman and a man
picked up her bucket
into the flames she ran
the bitter taste of red
bitter taste of red
that`s how she learnt
the bitter taste of red
heaven swirled with hell
by strangers she was raised
I`m from a nuclear family
Jenny said but she kept safe
all the rainbow ribbons
momma fastened through her hair
with daddy`s laugh in a treasure box
called can`t go back there
the healing sound of time
healing sound of time
that`s how she learnt
the healing sound of time
the bitter taste of red
bitter taste of red
that`s how she learnt
the bitter taste of red
