lyrics

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

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.
