about

I’ve known Nick since my early twenties and have always admired his musical prowess and gentle attention to the song. I don’t co-write often and almost never in a side-by-side fashion but that’s how this song was born. It almost didn’t make it here when the lead vocal of the chosen take was lost in a studio accident. But take 4 proved to be more than adequate.

lyrics

Sister Share Your Load

Wait a minute sister
there’s something I’ve gotta say
You’ve been running that
old ring a rosy now all the live long day
You think the game is so important
That you can put your song on hold
Clinging to the wrapping paper
when the gift is solid gold

If you do what you always do
Then you get what you always get
A whole lotta half baked victories
and a bucket of cold regret
Do you think it really matters
what you’re crossing off your list?
If you don’t stop, and look around you now
You’ll never notice what you’ve missed

‘Til you’re out of time,
Time to discover, there ain’t no way to recover
Precious time
Wasting rhyme
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Wake up to your sister’s call
Girl, you’re headed for a fall
If you don’t choose some firmer ground
We’re all here waiting
For you to stop beside the road
We’re in this thing together
Little sister share your load
(Solo)

You won’t regret the deadlines
that you missed
Like the seeds you didn’t sow
Better stop and look around you now
or you’ll fade before you know

That you’re out of time
Time to discover, there ain’t no way to recover
Precious time
Wasting rhyme
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Wake up to your sister’s call
Mirror Mirror can’t you see
Freedom starts with bravery
Mirror mirror this I know
Fear won’t help your soul to grow
It’s time to ditch the whole sideshow
and move to firmer ground
You need time to surrender
all of the lies that you’ve been sold
We’re in this thing together
Little sister share your load.
