Grace - Blue Horizon

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
