about

By Holly McGarry

lyrics

I’ve been singin’ for my supper
For so goddamn long
It’s been 10 years now
Sang my songs for kings and clowns
And I’m going home again
The summers here are fine
But I’ve been drinking all the time
And I’m going straight now

Am I my mother’s daughter,
Am I my father’s daughter,
How much is just me?

Fame is just a tempting mistress
Alone in the night
I was a coward way back then
But now I’m here again
I tell you I won’t give in
And I finally found the time
To look you squarely in the eyes
And tell you, “You’ve wronged me.”

Was I just weak and faltered,
A fool with a gambling problem,
How much were my dreams?

I can walk the sands of my life
All on my own
I know just what I did
And now I’ve made my bed
Oh I’m gonna lie in it
But I quit my drinkin’ wine
On stage there crying in the lights
And prayin’ I’ll make it

Am I a saintly martyr,
Or am I a fire starter,
Is it all inside of me?

Who knows just what they’re supposed to be?
My worst just gets the best of me

The songwriting is ever poignant, painting a picture with nostalgia. Shadow Dance, as the name implies, plays with the themes of loss and hope and how the two criss cross through our lives.
