Age Of Grace

Well I knew an old man, he told a tale

Of when he was a young blood and not old and frail

He did tell me of one grand place

A station and a homestead in an age of grace

He spoke of daylight when twenty men

Would leave the main yards, their mobs tend

And in the evening fires burned bright

Down in the quarters, laughter in the night

It was an age of grace and it's passed us by

An age of grace, oh I wonder why

Time rolls on, fades to grey

Say goodbye to yesterday

And in the big house where plans went down

They thought about their people

When they'd talk about their pounds

Everybody had their own place

Part of the picture in an age of grace

It was an age of grace and it's passed us by

An age of grace, oh I wonder why

Time rolls on and fades to grey

Say goodbye to yesterday

Well I went by there, it's not far from home

Rubble and ashes, the garden overgrown

Ghosts surround me, soul of the place

Only survivors of an age of grace

It was an age of grace and it's passed us by

An age of grace, oh I wonder why

Time rolls on, fades to grey

Say goodbye to yesterday

It was an age of grace and it's passed us by

An age of grace, oh I wonder why

Time rolls on and fades to grey

Say goodbye to yesterday

Age of grace
