the song

"Dead Girl Walking"

"I wrote this song to express what it feels like to walk around with advanced breast cancer,
but really, we are all dead girls walking. The tune came to me (on the mandolin) while riding the Hatteras ferry home. Lou brings the 'danger' needed to complete the musical frame for this song,"  Marcy


  

DEAD GIRL WALKING

Marcy Brenner & Lou Castro (ascap)


Dead girl walking

On a lonesome road headed to the chair 

Dread comes knocking

Racking my brain for one good prayer


Dead girl walking

Dropped down in a basement nightmare

IVs and TVs squawking

Balding heads fight despair


Tragedy happens every day

This fear I carry has many names


Dead girl walking

Please loan me strength I can’t repay

I beg you, keep talking

This shadow never quite goes away


Dead girl walking

That needle stitching my well-laid plans

Uncertainty is stalking

My future’s held in hungry hands


Tragedy happens every day

This fear I carry has many names

I’m still walking, I have survived

I am a woman who’s finally, finally alive


Dead Girl Walking
