Blood Red Hand

Mike Denison (Lumberfork)

Remake of another old song. This is little me and my big acoustic, recorded with two cheap microphones. The dynamics of this song make it next to impossible to get the flat sound I want out of it. Any recording engineers out there? ;)

Why why couldn’t you call to say goodbye
Alone and cold with a tear in your eye that’s how I remember you
Why why couldn’t you call to say goodbye
Alone and cold with a tear in your eye that’s how I remember you

What is happy is sad what is sad is dead
Little pieces of metal swimming ‘round your head
Dreams turn to tears drying on your bed
That’s how I remember you

Lips telling stories of a wonderland
Dreaming of the screaming of a hardened man
While blood flows warm into your blood-red hand
That’s how I remember you

Why why couldn’t you call to say goodbye
Alone and cold with a tear in your eye that’s how I remember you
Why why couldn’t you call to say goodbye
Alone and cold with a tear in your eye that’s how I remember you

Face turned the color of a ghostly white
Sitting in the silence of a starry night
Afraid to touch, afraid to cry
That’s how I remember you

The velvety touch as your turned away
Holding in the feelings for the words you’d say
Speaking of your past with a bitter taste
That’s how I remember you

Why why couldn’t you call to say goodbye
Alone and cold with a tear in your eye that’s how I remember you
Why why couldn’t you call to say goodbye
Alone and cold with a tear in your eye that’s how I remember you
