Collaboration with zmulls. This song got forwarded 3 times at taxi but didn't sell. (so far!). I probably need to redo it in a lower key... C'est la vie!.
Story behind the song
My favorite z. mulls lyric of all time!! (so far)
Lyrics
VIGIL
Lyrics © 2006 Z. Mulls
Music © 2007 Ian Ferrin
(v1)
You’re staring, staring out the window
Dwelling somewhere I can’t go
Disappearing in the distance
Melting with the fading snow
(v2)
I’m watching, watching for a signal
That you’ve let him go at last
Supper’s laid out on the table
Wine is poured into your glass
(chorus)
Your madness flickers like the candle
Burning out before the dawn
And I'm -
Breathing deep, remaining quiet
Keeping vigil, holding on
(v3)
You’re staring, staring out the window
When will you come back, my friend?
When will you come back, my lover?
I’ll be here at journey’s end
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
What was he but a sojourn to nowhere
Some dead ends, some winding roads?
You found the place where the sun kissed the forest
You found the path where the river flowed
Someday you will cease to wander
Finally reaching the end of the maze
Come and share with me all your travels
Come share with me the rest of our days
(repeat v1)
(repeat vhorus)
