Story Behind The Song

Song about abandonment when pregnant and repercussions. Angry and sorrowful chorus from the woman's points of view at treatment at hands of the childs' father and further down the years his own resulting guilt resolving only and prophetically "on hallowed ground".

Song Description

Reflective, thoughtful story of two people, an affair resulting in pregnancy. Smooth verse, big (angry) chorus, tremolo and slide guitars.

Lyrics

It's too easy to say, I held too tight, you had to walk away, that's your point of view, its just what you say, to make you look okay. It couldn't be worse according to you, your seed took root, there are worse things you could do, still you walked away . . . Anybody Else, would've been kinder, whatever it takes, to put it behind me

I can remember, I can't forget, the good and bad of you, you were a jerk, to be fair sometimes, you were a gentleman too, though we're long gone out of sight, your minds been bothering you, you've got regrets, I can sense the guilt's been seeping through

Anybody Else, would' ve been kinder, Whatever it takes, to put it behind me. Kind of stuck in the past, I'm out on a limb, I said I won't give in, until you forgive yourself.

Is there a place, some hallowed ground where we can work it out, I'm brave enough if you're game to meet someone I think you should know.
