Lyrics
Grace of God
You're minding your own business
When out of the blue
Like a bolt of white lightning
They come crashing into you
And one hundred and one memories
Break across your heart
Your breath comes in fits and waves
And you're pulling apart
And the angels are all watching
They're counting the minutes
Your life becomes a circle game
You're out of it or in it
By the Grace of God we come and go
You're sitting in Cortona
With a hilltop view
And your ancestors are whispering
They've got plans for you
And one hundred and one questions
Race across your mind
You're caught between the then and now
Fighting with time
And the angels are all waiting
They're counting your minutes
Your life becomes a circle game
You're out of it or in it
By the Grace of God we come and go
I'm standing on this earth
My feet firmly planted
With a promise to myself
I won't take things for granted
Like the love that I love
The light of my life
And my sight
In a café on the eastside
Coffee for two
You're waiting by the front door
For your love to walk through
And one hundred and one scenes
Play behind your eyes
Why she hasn't shown up yet
Why she's not on time
An the angels are all watching
To see how you would spin it
If suddenly your world split wide
And she wasn't in it
By the Grace of God we come and go
