Grace — текст песни (The Bacon Brothers)

Written by Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon

"A song about thanksgiving - not the holiday, just the act of giving thanks." KB

Bobby`s lyin` round like the wakin` dead
He`s got a big black cloud hangin` over his head
I want to get him up, get him out the door
I`d like to get him drunk, but he don`t drink no more
He says, "Oh, buddy, I really thought she was the one
Tell me what happened, `cause we were havin` so much fun."

Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
There but for the grace of you, go I
Girl but for the grace of you, go I

Teddy married Betty, when they were still in school
And he never was her first choice, she never was his fool
50 years together, that was somethin` less than bliss
Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss
Pass the fish sticks, and tell me what you did today
And the clock ticks, they`re runnin` out of things to say

I`ve seen ashes in the wind, and I`ve never seen him cry
There but for the grace of you, go I
Girl but for the grace of you, go I

Off we go in a cloud of dust, let the chips fall where they must
Girl you turned my life around, in the time it takes a heart to pound

Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
There but for the grace of you, go I
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
