Blood Tears Little Girl Lyrics

Little girl, where did you go?
Playing in the fields when the sun goes
Before the moon had changed at night
You had fallen out of sight

Little girl, why did you go away?
I was missing you, I knew when I strayed
Didn't mean to lie, didn't mean to cry
I just wanted to say goodbye

Little girl went to the city now
Got lost in this place up high
All the things you learned were almost real
But that denies our strength to heal

Little girl, why did you go away?
I was missing you, I knew when I strayed
Didn't mean to lie, didn't mean to cry
I just wanted to say goodbye

Walking down the street
Walking
My little girl...

Little girl gliding in the sky
came back down to say goodbye
I regret having scared you away
All my fault but nothing to say

Little girl, why did you go away?
I was missing you, I knew when I strayed
Didn't mean to lie, didn't mean to cry
I just wanted to say goodbye

Walking down the street
Walking
My little girl...

I had a girl
Little girl
She loved me more than I used to know
I loved that girl
I thought I would be with her forever

Little girl, where did you go? 
Playing in the fields when the sun goes
Before the moon had changed at night 
You had fallen out of sight

Little girl, why did you go away? 
I was missing you, I knew when I strayed 
Didn't mean to lie, didn't mean to cry 
I just wanted to say goodbye

Little girl went to the city now 
Got lost in this place up high 
All the things you learned were almost real 
But that denies our strength to heal

Little girl, why did you go away? 
I was missing you, I knew when I strayed 
Didn't mean to lie, didn't mean to cry 
I just wanted to say goodbye

Walking down the street 
Walking 
My little girl...

Little girl gliding in the sky 
came back down to say goodbye 
I regret having scared you away 
All my fault but nothing to say

Little girl, why did you go away? 
I was missing you, I knew when I strayed 
Didn't mean to lie, didn't mean to cry 
I just wanted to say goodbye

Walking down the street 
Walking 
My little girl...

I had a girl 
Little girl 
She loved me more than I used to know 
I loved that girl 
I thought I would be with her forever

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Are you guys seriously stupid. This is Jerry Cantrell...Tremorchrist is an idiot for saying this song sucks. You really don't appreciate AIC music. A reall fan don't say any AIC song sucks. Everything and i mean everything with AIC ROCKS! this is a beautiful song

i cant find this song, im sure its somewhere on the net but its must be hidden under piles and piles of capitalism. please won't someone email it to me?

ivanducttape@gmail.com

if you have any other rare bootleg mp3s or vids of aic they'd also be welcome. if you're looking for something, drop me a line, i might have it.

since I've not heard the song its probably unfair to comment, but since i dont give a crap... im very skeptical that this is AiC - Layne's voice was ALWAYS distinctive, if anything more so in their early demos. Plus the lyrics are rather contrived and superficial, with clearly forced rhyme schemes. Many other songs have been misattributed to aic on their bootlegs. It would also do well to point out that alice was exclusively metal in their early stages, to my knowledge acoustic songs and performances only appeared after facelift, and Demri only died in 1996, so its unlikely it was about her. Finally Alices early work was much more upbeat than their most famous stuff, this doesn't sound like an upbeat song to me?

but im still looking forward to hearing it... hope someone will take pity on me!!

The name of the band is Thread. They had a five song demo tape they released that got mislabelled as Alice in Chains rare material. The song 'Blue' is also one of these songs.
