lirik lagu jeff lang - between the lines

they always prey on women like her

they read self-doubt in the way she walks

he suckered her in with a hollow kind word

saying ‘i just love the soft way you talk’

‘you won’t leave!’ he’d scream ‘how could you?’

as they replayed the same bloodless fight

hadn’t seemed long ’till the joy had left them

and the dark long silence entered their nights

they were going for a meal with her sister

they’d been fighting before leaving home

and he struck her so hard that his palm had blistered

slap make-up couldn’t hide the bruises on her bones

she left the restaurant table without warning

it was not like her to make a fuss

saying “you’ll not see me tomorrow morning…

i’m taking the next brisbane bus

yeah, i’m leaving on the next brisbane bus”

there’s vultures waiting on nights like these

for a woman to leave on her own

the car pulled up beside her near a dark grove of trees

the clouds were thick and the night wind groaned

and my body lay broken, naked and alone

the crows pecked out my eyes

and the flesh fell off my bones

i watched it all between the dirt and the sky

and the officers came to drag him out of our home

with cuffs around his wrists

our neighbours saw him get led off alone

standing with their hands in fists

they all cried out ‘how could you?’

they know he was looking for me that night

now watching his pleas from out of the tv

they disbelieved the tears he cried

but i see him squatting in that cold cell

yeah i watch it all between dirt and sky

took a random act to curse him to h-ll

and a stranger done took both our lives yeah a stranger, he took both our lives

that man he took both our lives
