Tenderness

Deadly Lovely by Jack Licata

Song dedicated to my grandfather upon his passing in 2019. 

Lyrics
You never wanted to be the one
Who was strong for everyone
But then a day came when you didn’t have a choice
Now we measure all we’ve done as
Mother, daughter, prodigal son 
And for the first time father didn’t have a voice 
So we had to be your voice

She said look at all we did
They are here because we lived our lives together, Built one life together 
In a room of twenty one
Now a countdown has begun
We’re holding on, you’re still holding on
Not ready to say goodbye...

I think of all you left behind 
Searched your whole life to find 
When all you wanted was someone to anoint 
You can rest your work is done
Lessons you taught will still live on
And those with your name
Will still echo your voice
We have to be your voice 

She said look at all we did
They are here because we lived our lives together, Built one life together 
In a room of twenty one
Now a countdown has begun
We’re holding on, you’re still holding on

How did you know where to go
Out in front paving the road for us

How did you have the strength to go
Out in front braving the cold for us

Xanny bars, Fancy cars
Tabloid news, the fight to choose
Building walls between our friends
With their ugly means and ugly ends
As the fires burn across the sand
Libertine puts out her hand
Take the chance you know you should
Do this world a little good...

Whoa is me
Have you seen my Libertine
Does she keep her fingers clean
as she dance across the scene?
Is she out breaking hearts
while the war machine they start?
God help us to bring her back home.

Its all the same, every day
TV screen is where they prey
Telling lies into our heads
You won't know the truth until you're dead
The poisons in the waters now
As the noxious gas springs from the ground
Libertine where have you gone?
Are we witnessing the fall of Rome?

Whoa is me
Have you seen my Libertine?
Does she keep her conscience clean
as she dance across the scene?
Is she out breaking hearts
while the war machines burn hot?
God help us bring her home tonight...

Oh no, its not right.
There won't be another chance to win this fight.
Oh no, no not this time.
We gotta fight now for our rights
We gotta fight to stay alive
We gotta fight for freedom, right?
RIGHT?!

Where are you?
Where are you?
Libertine, where are you?
