I know absolutely nothing about music, but I can write. Or, at least, I like to think I can. So, I saw this picture of Anna Marie Tendler and was inspired to write lyrics from it. Or, at least, a poem that’s meant to be sung to music. But I only wrote this in about five minutes, so someone who actually knows what they’re doing would have to do something with it. But it’s inspired by Damien Rice’s The Blower’s Daughter. That’s the vibe I’m looking for with it.
A Constant Companion
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform
it was all an act
and that’s a fact
our love is gone
and will never come back
but for a while you were a
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
I used to adore you
now you’re gone with a roar
never to return as it is foretold
but what can I say that hasn’t been said
a thousand times in my head
you were
a constant companion
by my side
by my side
now the darkness has taken your place
I live in disgrace
with another
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
(bridge)
I’m alone with my fears
alone with my nightmares
I hold my hands late at night
thinking it’s you by my side
but my fingers I feel are my own
I can’t forget that you once were my
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion
constant
companion
constant
companion
