Story Behind The Song

A door bell ring heralds the arrival of a blood spattered woman at the singers door. It's a story of his brothers wife and the brother who had always lived on the dark side. Out of that comes new love.

Lyrics

IT HAUNTS ME STILL

I'm not the kind of person to dwell on things
Things happen then I try to move on
But there's one evening
That I can't forget
When the door bell rang
And I could sense there was something wrong

You stood there
Blood spattered
Heavy breathing
Like you'd run fast up the hill
Your clothing
Half ripped away
That vision
It haunts me still

I said
What's happened who did this think to you
Where's my brother with whom you live?
But I could tell
When you looked away
He was responsible
For that terrible criminal thing



You stood there
Blood spattered
Heavy breathing
Like you'd run fast up the hill
Your clothing
Half ripped away
That vision
It haunts me still

And I ran to the cupboard and I got out my gun
I's gonna round him up this brother on the run
He'd always had a dark side that you never saw
How he'd gotten such a lady I had never understood

As it happens
You never left my house and I cared for you
We fell in love so easily
And looking back
If he'd treated you
With respect and love
I wonder what might have been

But you stood there . . .
