Waiting for the Call
Lyrics by Brian Marquis

The day you left
The roof stood still
The copper began to green

You left broken
All you’ve broken
A carousel whose lost its tune
Never stopped to turn around

Big Fish stories of all your glory
Cast out a line weighted by time
Empty, lifeless and cold

Was it the bottle?
Was it your father?
Was it the worms inside your head?
You treated her like she was dead

Waiting for the call
Officer found you in a motel room
Your brains against the wall

Waiting for the call
You’ve got a new life
Two kids and a wife
And you gave up guitar

Bound and bandaged
Licking your own wounds
Repeating yourself like I’m somebody else
Shell of a man I once knew

Listen, Father
I’m not your Father
A living ghost from your past
This blame will never last

Waiting.

about

Snow Damage, singer/songwriter Brian Marquis’ (ex-Therefore I Am) debut six- song EP, released via Harbinger Music Group, is ... more a heartfelt culmination of resilience, rebirth and renewal. The EP title, Snow Damage, metaphorically describes what is left when all the winter snow is melted away and the ground beneath is exposed, waiting for the rebirth of spring. less
