lyrics

Faded and out of place this flower on the edge
of a changing world that we can hardly name.
He said don’t let me fall off the side of this cliff,
hold my hand even as the ground gives way below.
Caught up in dreaming of times that we may never know.
and hoping while sleeping is all that we have left to go on.
Didn’t it feel just like the last true love on earth
when you held me in your arms against that storm?
I said don’t let me fly far away from where I see
all the days that stretch ahead like empty roads.
And on and on,
pretty promises they never were intent on keeping.
And crawling on, weary as we’ve been,
it seemed a better way than leaving.
Waving the flag ahead of this,
our one defense;
hear the calm in all the chaos overhead.
A light across the dark brings the blood back to my heart,
every line that you had ready goes unsaid.

about

Miriam Marston Portland, Oregon

I started composing when I was 10. I called one of my first songs "Nostalgia", although I can't recall what my ten year old self was so nostalgic about. Released my first album in 2000. Things got busy, but I never stopped writing. Even if it meant composing on a mostly-broken piano in the basement of a university that I wasn't even enrolled in. Enjoy all the music and reading! Pax.
