The Steel Woods Della Jane S Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And a sliver of light
Cuts through the dark
And the moonlight shines
On Della Jane's heart

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And a sliver of light
Cuts through the dark
And the moonlight shines
On Della Jane's heart

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
