Condor 04:34
Hey there Condor I heard you as you were soaring by When all your heart's doors Became walls a thousand miles high I'll be the quilt around your shoulders We'll walk together through the storm I saw you shaking yesterday Only wanting to be warm Let me take you over I'll be your bridge when you have nothing to give And I don't mind Make me your solder Take my hand if you want to live See the light in my eyes Paint a fourth petal on your clover As it takes hold As it takes you over Hey there wanderer I'll take your staff as you step inside I know what you're seeking it's simple Trans-existential peace of mind There's a healer not far He's more potent than time If you open your heart maybe he'll use these feeble Hands of mine When we walk alone We doubtless arrive a little further from the throne But God smiles as he looks down And we don't take the long way 'round

Ivory skin, blackened with tar She relents Bows her head Stops pressing so hard Apostate sin No explaining Rather be the prodigal than a bride of Canaan So she stands a little closer to the rain There's a subtle change in her voice Draw a chain across the stage The light made its choice It's easier to fade from the life she had begun Into the grey We let her run Better the honesty Than the facade of faith The clouds gather overhead She waits for a sign The wind receives her as a fried It calls her name when She stands a little closer to the rain There's a subtle change in her voice A mark of hate upon the way She lost her day of choice Beneath a mountain's worth Of water not stone I'll gently support Her heart with my own Don't fear this water-deteriorated road You blessing forever strong May it be what, truth be told You find your messiah upon Be my armor in the rain Like a long-lost love When you need restitution I'll be your dove

Jacob's Song 02:53
Evening breaks Esau begs Before the day is sealed Jacob gave And his slave Forsakes the birthright for a meal His mother wept Jacob left With no excuse to give From the throne flew Angels who knew A song for the fugitive Roll the stone over and rest your head When night falls you have no fear Heard a whisper on heaven and it said The Lord will meet you here Rachel cried Demons died When he opened up that well Did he see light in her eyes? Fourteen years time would tell Oh Laban, what were you thinking? His God is drinking your plans up For all the tricks and the games you play He will take Both your daughters away Send the women and children to the other side He's got an angel keeping him up at night Esau says this is my own flesh and blood He's fought with God and Man and overcome

about

Ted Bridgman Seattle, Washington

I was raised by wolves. Maybe housecats. Or bearcats.

One of them taught me to play guitar. So I do. And I keep on because people seemed to enjoy it.

I hope my music takes a little piece of you, and you grow in understanding when you try to take it back.
