about

The song that kicked off the project. What was it like to sit there beneath the window, waiting, while the army circled the city for 3 days? What did her friends, family and neighbors think of her? What did she think of herself?

lyrics

Crowded here along inside this room
Trapped within so long it’s like my tomb
Choices that I’ve made, Or some old family way
becomes my doom

Far off in the distance I can hear
People from afar now drawing near
Fire in the sky, Stories passing by
leave us in fear

Now a scarlet cord swings in this dead, dry heat
A promise that was made I’m trusting still that you will see
Shame is on display and my whole world despises me
What is there now left for me to do?
But sit beneath this scarlet cord
Wait for you and believe

most of life is waiting 'round to die,
sitting, wondering if it's worth a try
I would soldier on, play at being strong,
not asking why

hope is something I'd been taught to fear
never give a word, nor lend an ear
then they came around, telling what they'd found
and that you're near

Now a scarlet cord swings in this dead, dry heat
A promise that was made I’m trusting still that you will see
Shame is on display and my whole world despises me
What is there now left for me to do?
But sit beneath this scarlet cord
Wait for you and believe

And Now I see in time
A morning star will rise
So I can bear this long long night

Still a scarlet cord swings in this dead, dry heat
A promise that was made I’m trusting still that you will see
Shame is on display and my whole world despises me
What is there now left for me to do?
But sit beneath this scarlet cord
Wait for you and believe
