Della Jane's Heart - The Steel Woods

In her red sun dress with braids in her hair

She crawled out her window and ran to meet him there

Where she gave up on youth and gave into desire

And the touch of his hands lit a wildfire

And a sliver of light

Cuts through the dark

And the moonlight shines

On Della Jane’s heart

The cold wind was blowing as she waited for his embrace

But it only got colder when she saw the look on his face

His blindsiding words of his new love for Anna Lee

Filled her with rage as he told her of their plans to leave

And a sliver of light

Cuts through the dark

And the moonlight shines

On Della Jane’s heart

Now the weight of her world was heavy as lead

But she drug it on down to the ol' riverbed

With her knees in the mud she looked up and prayed

«Lord, please wash all of my sins and his body away»

Wash it all away, wash it all away

And a sliver of light

Cuts through the dark

And the moonlight shines

On Della Jane’s heart

On Della Jane’s heart, on Della Jane’s heart

On Della Jane’s heart, on Della Jane’s heart
