Della Jane's Heart

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
