Track from The Glimmer (2022)
Songwriter: Mark Jacob Lipman
Composer: Mark Jacob Lipman

lyrics

Allison turned around again to heed another call
From the same old shadow
so dark and tall
She slipped out the back door
with a look in her eye
That wasn’t looking at me at all

(Pre chorus)
When you hold on to something for so long
It only weighs you down
You come to find it doesn’t make you strong
To drag yourself around
And around

(Chorus)
Cold is the grave that haunts me honey
Warm is the hand that guides
Old is the wolf that howls to be set free
Born is the man inside
True is the love that’s tried

I picked myself up off the floor
and followed her along
I knew right then that it would end
with the singing of this song
I put a photograph by the epitaph
and carried on my way
And the sun shone down that day

Pre-chorus

Chorus

I used to think she was to blame
for an appetite to die
I used to think it was worth craving
the gleam in his eye
But anyone could tell you
the lesson of it all
Is how not to heed the call

Pre-chorus
Chorus
