Grace

For eighteen years, I'd walked the Earth

I didn't know where to run and I didn't know who to trust

For all I've known has turned into dust

But I met this girl in Timbuctoo

I didn't know how to walk so I couldn't help but to fall

And in her eyes I saw Jesus call

She loved the king and big blue rings

And the wildflowers growing out in the fields

And I could feel my heart drop its shields

We rode our bikes out to the sea

And there I think asked what she's seeing in me

And why a dream like her shouldn't be free

Well, sometimes I fade, I think I'm okay

But she's there, in my dreams

I could forget about the money

I could forget about my trace

Just as long as I've got her, Grace

I could go borrow from God's rainbow

To go painting her sweet face

Just as long as I've got her, Grace

Her dress kept flying in the wind

And she kept a red book as a bleeding friend

Then she said she likes to pretend

She's in a book by Jane Austen

She wanted to be a star and the greatest of them all

A flower child is bound to have a ball

She doesn't care for evil things

She knows they'll only use her and clip her wings

She can't be mugged on all the joy she brings

And if you see her can you say

"I didn't know how to tell her but I loved her ways

And all I want to hold is her, Grace”?

Well, sometimes I fade, I think I'm okay

But she's there, in my dreams

I could forget about the money

I could forget about my trace

Just as long as I've got her, Grace

I could go borrow from God's rainbow

To go painting her sweet face

Just as long as I've got her, Grace
