Fourth track from the album Saint of the Open Opera (2010)
lyrics
Nine Years
Nathan Brown and Ginnifer Brown, 2008
Nine years gone past
Good and damaged - Never could last
Broken, bandaged - Set the cast
Fast, or feed me - I tried to nurse it
You came to need me - Like I was worth it
More fears than faith
Terrors proven - In my lined face
Worries woven - Into lace
Grace won't save me - I can't escape it
The life you gave me - Helped me reshape it
It's time that I confront
That I don't know what I want
I know that dreams don't come true but
There's still me and you
The years burn quickly - Bright embers gild it
My heart beats thickly - This blood has filled it
And if you pick me - I will not shield it
Nine years gone past
