lyrics

My hands were open and wide
and they were open to you
you would have held them
but your hands were tied
so you tied mine up too.

I met a man who loved me truly
and I loved him truly too
I swore to give him
my life, my love, a future
but my hands were tied by you

And the air grew cold
and the leaves turned brown
but I still had hope
when you put me in the ground

This road I'm on is rough and winding
it's not enough to just pass through
you travelled very far to roads that crossed
and bargained
and it will come back to you

Now the world is snow
there's no green around
and I lost all hope
when you left me in the ground
digging back out
takes so much time
if I let this go
then I can climb
and grow
I'm not alone, I know...

When the flowers grow
life is all around
I'll have so much hope
I will plant it in the ground

My eyes are open and wide
and you are nowhere to be found
I want to give you a chance to be forgiven
but you put yourself into the ground

about

Lady Laura Chicago, Illinois

After losing the band she loved, and the husband she loved even more, Lady Laura is out on her own writing about what it means to lose everything she thought defined her, and how she rebuilds. Her debut album, JEZEBEL, chronicles this with only her voice & piano to focus on what it means to be solo and alone. The result: songs that are emotionally raw, revealing, and, in the end, empowering. ... more
