| | | | |
[Verse 1]
|Gb | | | |
Take my blood and take my marrow,
| | | | |
Scrape the meal from my bone,
| | | | |
Pierce my heart if you please, with your arrow,
| | | | |
But Veda, my darling, come home.
[Verse 2]
| | | | |
Darling child, for you I labor,
| | | | |
Grease and glass in my skin,
| | | | |
Though you sneer, and crack wise I won't waver, but
| | | | |
Veda, my darling, come in, come in.
[Chorus]
| | | |
Sweet thing, let me dress you for bed,
| |
Now slip that gown off your head,
| | | |
I'll kiss you one thousand times, my angel.
| | |
Close your eyes, and my savage mind
| | |
Will fashion a day when you'd be tender,
| |
When you'd be kind. For you see the
[Verse 3]
| | | | |

| | | | |

| | | | |

| | | | |
You take without grace - though it smarts - I don't mind.

[Chorus]
|Fm | |
If your lover has done you wrong, you
|Bbm | Gb
Slipped as you gripped his gun
| | |
And found yourself o'er his lifeless body.
| | |
Child, I'd rush to turn myself in and
| |
Claim that it was my sin,
| |F |
To spare you. Yes, for darling
[Verse 4]
| | | | |
In this town of light and shadow
| | | | |
Dreams become crooked and low,
| | | | |
If I've lost my way it was only to please you,
| | | | |
But Veda, my darling, you already know.
