Lyrics
A Sliver of My Pride
Vocals and Lyrics by Mary McGrath
Copyright 9/2/18-All rights reserved


I’ve been wailing all the evening 
Outside calling out your name
The night is dark and teeming
With the silence is all the same

I know that you’re a rambler
Putting distance on your shoes
In life you’re but a gambler
I’ve read it in the news

Spinning dice until the mornings
When the rooster starts its crow
You say your life is boring
So you say you have to go

But I’ve been playing roulette
With my heart for far too long
Making excuses for your lies and yet
You make me feel I’m wrong

For displaying all my sorrow
On a billboard for all to see
Our neighbors look through windows
And point their gaze at me

I know that I should leave you
With your cards and loaded dice
A joke to think that you’d be true
Your façade of being nice

Ah ooooooh………

I know I’ll make excuses
And take you back again
Pretending that the nooses
Won’t strangle me remain

Perhaps someday a bus will come
And mow you down outside
Or maybe I will get on it
And gain a sliver of my pride

But 'til that day arrives
I’m stuck in these worn out shoes
I’d hardly call myself alive
As I continue to sing the blues

Ah ooooh…….


I’m stupid to put up with this
Instead of heading out the door
But sometimes just one taste of kiss
Keeps me coming back for more.


I know I’ll make excuses
And take you back again
Pretending that the nooses
Won’t strangle me remain

Perhaps someday a bus will come
And mow you down outside
Or maybe I will get on it
And gain a sliver of my pride
