Текст песни Hollow and Bold - Marla Hansen

The wise one sat with
Me her legs crossed left over the right one
She said 'you know my girl that you're a private creeper what you need to say you're gonna say alone'

I carried that with me through speeches and hardly scratched the surface
Ashamed to think that they don't feel as much as i do
She said 'when i pray for him i'll pray alone'

Off all the things i never told you
This is the lump in my throat
No matter who had come a-callin'
I would have stayed with you

I forced myself to sit
My hands folded left over the right one
And when it's done my friends we all walk out together into the waiting cold
I am hollow and bold

We all go out to eat
Because it's what he would have wanted
And i'm so grateful for the ones he brought together and the stories they tell that we all know so well

But later in my room
I turn the lights out and cover up the mirror
I light a candle for my dear departed teacher and what i needed to say
Now i can say alone

Off all the things i never told you
This is the lump in my throat
No matter who had come a-callin'
I would have stayed with you
