lyrics

She don't ask for much
Just the clothes on her back, the solace in her head, and the warmth of another's touch
But she packed her bags and turned out the lights as she left the house in a terrible fright
Oh Grace, you called my name

Was it something I said?
Sometimes the words that I say are just pantomime for the demons in my head
So I sit here wondering 'why, why, why?'
It's the simple curse of a complex mind
But damn, you could have at least said goodbye

Oh Grace, you called my name
The timbre of your voice
Carried nine months of blame
Now the sun still shines through the window pane
Oh Grace, you called my name

And, Grace, I've had enough
We're just marionettes in a civil play based on everyone else's love
Yes, everything shines if you rub long enough
But my arm's been tired for over a month
So, Grace, I guess this is goodbye

Oh Grace, you called my name
The weight of your choice struck match into flame
Now the sun still burns through the window pane
Oh Grace, you called my name

I guess it's how this goes
One minute you're counting sand through the hourglass
And the next minute it chokes
But it's just the thing to pass the time oh I've got yours
And you've got mine
Oh Grace, you called my name

Point and purpose
Make noise, my wordless

Your silence speaks volumes
To the frailty of your charity in costume
Grace, speak up
You're being drowned out in a symphony of the ardently corrupt
And I, your loyal truant
Would jump the rails to hear a single note of your final movement
Grace, hear the trumpets sound
Feel the thunderous boom of plans fell through falling all around you
Grace

Oh Grace, you called my name
The desert rejoiced at the first drop of rain
Now the moon still glows on the window pane
Oh Grace, you called my name
