The Bitter Taste Of Red by 2 Bit Mystic published on 2018-12-07T23:41:43Z 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 © Robert Cordrey Oct. 2018 Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Karin-Maria Brunner nice song! 2019-06-28T05:50:12Z Comment by 2 Bit Mystic @user-138663860: Thank you for those supportive comments Sunnidayz- so glad this connected. 2019-04-16T18:03:36Z Comment by Chris Scheri Very serious lyrics. 2019-04-06T16:39:28Z Comment by Chris Scheri Lovely vocal harmonies. 2019-04-06T16:37:57Z Comment by Oorlab fine song - cool mix of voice, drums and guitar. 2018-12-26T20:54:37Z Comment by Janice & Bud Merritt Strong production with the lyric, vocal and mix! 2018-12-13T16:46:18Z Comment by Southern Fried Great write here Robert, love the emotion felt in this!!!!
