Grace
(Indisponível)
I see your cigarette on the ground
The ash on your hand gives you away
Not much to say, but we say it anyway -
We shoot the shit to pass the time
Oh, but you never stick around anyway
And I won't beg you to stay
But when you leave I have nothing at all
Just the smoke that you leave behind
Though I still wear my heart on my sleeve
I cover it well with lucidity
Listen when I breathe - I am trying to believe
I'll get back down to sway again, oh
And lay it down in the pouring rain
And let it live again
But when you leave I have nothing at all
Just the clock beating out my time
You say
"Baby, please - don't walk out the door
Don't leave me lonely like you did before"
And all at once the memory's gone
And all that matters is we're hanging on
Don't you know there's a time for losing
Everything we have found
Don't you see there there's no pain in rising
Rising and falling down
Can't you see that there's no shame
In spinning around and around
So tie me up again and tear me down
Looking for you in everyone
I gave myself up too easily
My head is free, won't you lay it on me
It's time to take a cue from you
I'll give it up for a pot of gold
For just a waste of time
If you believe I need nothing at all
Just the grace that you leave behind, oh
"Baby, please - don't walk out the door
Don't leave me lonely like you did before"
And all at once the memory's gone
And all that matters is we're hanging on
"Baby, please - don't walk out the door
Don't leave me lonely like you did before"
And all at once what's done is undone
And all that matters is we're hanging on
