Handiwork by Catherine Woods published on 2023-08-08T18:58:25Z After yet another friend posted pictures of her bruises I was beyond angry and found myself writing. I wanted to show these women's experiences. The loneliness, the shame and the desperation are common threads to their stories. They made it out, but not all do. Thank you for listening. Sidewalk pavement after midnight The only friend left to hear me cry Black and blue patches show the ugly truth You were headstone carving when I left you And your handiwork (Chorus) Expertly you pulled the strings Hide your flaws, then make me bleed Your sleight of hand looked so grand But then I saw what comes of your Handiwork Mona Lisa smiled for da Vinci But you had me cower as you painted me It’s not safe to be your masterpiece Draped in your shame that covers me When I’m your handiwork I’m a showcase. Take a look (Chorus) Train whistle screams on jumpers bridge “How many times will you fall for it?” Desperate thoughts pounding in my head I’d feel more comfort on that river bed Than be your handiwork (Chorus) Church bell calling from across the street “Child, come and rest. You're set free.” They say idle hands are the devil’s work I guess they’ve never seen your Guess it’s time they see your Someone needs to see your Handiwork Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Dan Boyko great vocal! 2023-10-24T23:55:15Z Comment by Vince Dimascio Wow! 2023-10-18T22:32:39Z Comment by The Vlade Love this song, Catherine! 2023-08-17T23:35:36Z Comment by Andy Dolphin Lovely work again Catherine, smooth vocals 2023-08-15T12:32:50Z Comment by Gom Jabbar 🔥 2023-08-13T18:26:23Z Comment by Magi©ian™ (Making music make a difference) powerful and strong messages 2023-08-13T10:04:24Z Comment by Andrea Ev captivating song! melody as whispered memories🍀 2023-08-12T13:49:35Z Comment by Myckael Marcovic Good track 😈 2023-08-12T04:50:18Z Comment by HAZPAIN This is a great concept and great song 2023-08-11T23:33:38Z Comment by Sid & Doris Bonkers Really interesting track - would have liked to hear the vocals more clearly 2023-08-11T18:57:05Z Comment by Bas Kooman 👍 2023-08-11T18:47:11Z
