Story Behind The Song
I found my true love. I used to be a lone ranger ... but no more.
Song Description
The first part of the song describes the singer ... a down-at-the-heels person, a loner. The chorus comes around and is about finding someone who is full of GRACE and who is able to make you a better person than you are. The rest of the song is about finding the lover ... stumbling across them by accident. And again, how they make you feel BRAVE and FREE.

Lyrics
Lone Ranger
Stranger
To the subtleties
The art of living,
If you please, please, please (her)
Plain Jane
She?s a freight train
No changing her mind
Her toy gun and her trusty steed by her side
Inside down deep
Trying, dying
A slow death
Multiplying breath
By breath by shallow breath ?
The width and depth
Of her loneliness
It?s stretching her thin
Wearing her in little Miss
Raggedy Ann
CHORUS
You are grace I believe
I know I am none of these
I am not brave, nor am I free
But with you I think I could be
Another weary day
Out wandering the plains
Alone under the sun
The crows and cactuses my companions
Just another dusty town
Wandering around
Found you passed out in its streets
Took you home, tied you up tight in my sheets
Me thinks so what same old same old
Lo and behold
In mystique you awake from sleep
You speak you reach my heart beats a blue streak
There?s finders
There?s keepers
Thought I was doomed to play
The looser the weeper
But you are grace in you I believe
Hallelujah hope faith now I can see
I am not brave, nor am I free
But with you I think I could be
Me thinks so what same old same old
Lo and behold
In mystique you awake from sleep
You speak you reach my heart beats a blue streak
There?s finders
There?s keepers
Thought I was doomed to play
The looser the weeper
But you are grace in you I believe
Hallelujah hope faith now I can see
I am not brave, nor am I free
But with you I think I could be
