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

lyrics

She didn’t dwell upon tomorrow
Don’t care what’s behind that door
Another man who treads in sorrow
Another drink that’s left to pour

You can have the straight and narrow
Go ahead and take that road
Just give her wide open meadows
And winding pathways all alone

I flow, I flow, I am a sparrow
I glow, I glow, I am a rainbow
I go, I go, I am a railroad
I know, I know, I am an arrow
Straight through the heart

Anyone who ever met her
Met a little shadow too
Cast by a dark umbrella
To help forget what once she knew

You may call her an angel
But she’s fallen through and through
‘Cause someone shot a hole in heaven
And that man looked just like you

Chorus

You can make a nest to keep her
You can plant a pot of gold
Lay the tracks until the sunsets
And your hands turn grey and old

Or you can paint a little bullseye
In the center of your chest
Lift your hands up to the blue sky
And she’ll do what she does best

Chorus
