Broken Glass Lyrics

Broken Glass

Words and music by Anke Summerhill

Between the lines of light and darkness
I watch the rising of the moon
The words between us lie unspoken
gone too soon

The edge is soft and yet unyielding
The light of dawn is coming on
And when I try to hold the moment
The moment’s gone
Broken glass feels like broken glass
Broken glass

I hold a box half full of memories
The empty part belongs to me
And when I touch the shattered pieces
I’ll let them be
Just like broken glass feels like broken glass
Broken glass

Now I can’t find the future in the present
Can’t see the past for all these trees
It’s only time and time betrays us
In times like these
Between the lines of light and darkness
Between the bitter and the sweet
The lines between us lie unspoken
And cut too deep

Anke: vocal, guitar
Michael VanDam: cello
Matt Larson: acoustic bass
Barry Carter: bass drum
