about

This is a song that my sister (Colleen Hartnett) asked me to write for a short film that she produced. I hope you like it.

lyrics

Laborious

Two timid stars cross the stage
Infinitesimal parts that they play
Cast in their roles, completing and kind
To act out a plot, larger than life

So they plan to achieve
To create, to conceive
And, at last, they believe
Their wait is over
But they know not

Fair’s not a phrase oft used to explain what heavens may hold
So spare her the bad news lest you wish her heart to implode
Careful, she carries her burden to bury along with the shame
Lost to the world, heartbeat gone unheard, speak not of a name

Over again, their road will begin where once they have tried
Love grows once more, but in spite, as before, their love quickly dies
Woeful, she carries her burden to bury, a loss yet again
She falls to the world, her heart full of hurt, the sorrow sets in

It's a grave gravity
That pulls down from beneath
And it grips at their bones
To bereave them of their own
But their hearts they hold out hope they know that

Harder though their road may be they know they've what it takes
Stronger now not in spite but because all of the pain
Graceful, she carries her head high to bury the false sense of shame
She calls to the world, her heart full of courage, come ever what may

So they rise to retrieve
A love that they'll both need
To believe and bestow
That one day life will grow
And their hearts they hold out hope they know that
Try though they might this new life may never be

Two timid stars cross the stage
