You and I know I had to leave
And the harbour lights, I cannot see
But you were my rock never my stepping stone.
Drawing of Ice and Romulus, from BayloneRose's comic 'Strayz'.
I held my tongue, I turn on my heels
I couldn't look back.
I want you to know,
That you were my rock
Never my stepping stone.
You were never a stepping stone.
The background is a sort of blurred version of a harbour, or maybe a bay at night, with the city lit up behind.
We both know I cannot come home.
The water rose faster than I could run.
All my love has bruised my grieving bones.
Forgive my sins for I haven't found God
And I don't know when I can trust my heart
But you were my rock never my stepping stone.
In this drawing I tried to make Ice's head more round than the typical wolf, though it was difficult to find the balance where it did not cross over into the head of a Malamute...
You were never a stepping stone.
You were never a stepping stone.
She said I'll be your rock when the water comes
Don't waste your life on the stepping stones.
You were never a stepping stone.
You were never a stepping stone.
I hope you enjoy! The song is 'Harbour Lights' by the wonderful A Silent Film, and I've been hopelessly addicted to this song from the first time I've heard it. I felt it would be appropriate for their relationship in the comic, and considering the setting of the comic, which I presume is San Francisco, 'harbour lights' went well with it.
