PigPen Theatre Co. - Grace lyrics

In the town of Mercy I lived on the town line Across the way I'm happy to say Was a baby born named Grace Was a baby born named Grace She was Gracie to her mother Graceful to her dad And both so grateful that she existed at all Now me I outgrew Mercy Grace she did the same Watchful of fumes and rhythms and hues Of the cars as they drove away Of the cars as they drove away Come around now Past the hounds now There's no parish for the dumb priest And no grace (no grace, no grace) No Grace for those who don't say anything Now me I tiptoed borders Grace she hid away She read from the books of sinners and crooks And she learned how to get away And she learned how to get away Grace she spoke to Gypsies Gypsies they spoke to Grace About skyblue gems and the ghost of a dance That she then taught to me The night that she would leave “It's all in the eyes, and the wave of your hands And trust that your feet can do more than stand Yes they can float From heel to toe Along with those you love” So come around now Past the hounds now There's no parish for the dumb priest And no grace (no grace, no grace) No grace (no grace, no grace) No grace (no grace, no grace) No Grace for those who don't say anything
