Highland Grace - Hiss Golden Messenger

Yes, and then there came a stranger

Call her Highland Grace

A rearranger

I’d been searching in the mirror, but seeing my own face didn’t make it any

clearer

I’d rage against the hard times while others smiled to say, «Hey, take it easy.»

Yes and lo, this little angel was standing in the rain

Oh, just what I needed

Yes and ain’t that just like a Saturday child?

Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head

She loves with the love of a gentle child

I was a fool of the rule before I met her

Yes, good morning, Matokie

Tell me about those great expectations

When I set the river on fire

You laughed in my face

When things got dire

Yea, and sleep went to slaughter

I saw you drift away, farther and farther

Yes, my eyes pinned like diamonds, head of smoke for days

I loved you, little liar

Yes and ain’t that just like a Saturday child?

Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head

She loves with the love of a gentle child

Hey, fool of the rule

Not everything’s for sale

And if you can’t buy it

You can stand and deny it

And if you can’t see it

Will you refuse to believe it?

And if you can’t count it

Oh you can’t help but doubt it

But loving her was easy

The easiest thing in the world

Oh loving her was easy

The easiest thing in the world

Oh loving her was easy

The easiest thing in the world
