Till She Said

from sire by Jamie Greer

about

No matter how much I managed to turn the ship around to a brighter port, it would never have been possible without the support and encouragement of my wife, Holly Brush. Her motivation, inspiration, and cold hard truths were the lighthouse on my dark and stormy nights.

lyrics

Thirty years ago they came
The storm clouds bringing all the rain
Hanging over me like burdened beasts
Sharing all their wounded pain

I didn't know which way to turn
Couldn't differentiate what hadn't burned
The scars ran deep, the rivers dry
Each lesson lost instead of learned

And the reasons became treason
And the tears justified each fear
And the drink justified how this broken mind would think
Till she said...

I'll follow you until the end of the earth
But I'm not going to follow you over
The edge
But I've got a hand to hold when ever you need
I will be there to pull you up over
That ledge

Sometimes we run from what we fear
When help was closer than we feel
There's easier ways to numb the pain
Sometimes it's easier not to heal

But then that bright light starts to shine
No matter how far on down the line
A simple smile out in the rain
To let you you know that now's the time

And the reasons became treason
And the tears justified each fear
And the drink justified how this broken mind would think
Till she said...

I'll follow you until the end of the earth
But I'm not going to follow you over
The edge
But I've got a hand to hold when ever you need
I will be there to pull you up over
That ledge

I ran for years to escape it all
I watch the bridges burn and fall
Hoping the shadows would just leave
But darkness just surrounds it all

Her voice rang clearly from the dell
As clear as any ringing bell
A chance to live, a chance to sire
A chance to turn my back on hell

And the treason turned to reason
And the tears turned to joy from fear
And the drink became no way that this broken man could think
And she said

I'll follow you until the end of the earth
But I'm not going to follow you over
The edge
But I've got a hand to hold when ever you need
I will be there to pull you up over
That ledge
