"Gracious" lyrics
"Gracious"
How would you know?
When everything around you's changing like the weather
A big black storm
And who would you turn to?
Had I a ghost
A shadow at the most
Would you let me know?
'Cause I don't want to
To trouble your mind
With the childish design
Of how it all should go
But I love you so
When it all comes clear
When the wind is settled
I'll be here, you know
'Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
The sand upon that place
Darling, I'll grow weary, happy still
With just the memory of your face
Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget the plans
And the silhouettes you drew
Here
And gracious goes the ghost of you
My dear
And how would you know?
When everything around you's bruised and battered
Like the cold night storm
And who would you turn to?
Had I a ghost
A shadow at the most
Would you tell me so?
'Cause I, I adore you so
When it all comes clear
The wind is settled
I'll be here, you know
'Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
The sand upon that place
Darling, I'll grow weary, happy still
With just the memory of your face
Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget the plans
And the silhouettes you drew
Here
And gracious goes the ghost of you
My dear
Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget the plans
And the silhouettes you drew
Here
And gracious goes the ghost of you
My dear

Bon Iver - "Blood Bank" Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me

The Lumineers - "Stubborn Love" She'll lie and steal, and cheat, and beg you from her knees
Make you think she means it this time
She'll tear a hole in you, the one you can't repair

When...
Lewis Watson - "Into The Wild" Take my hand and let go
I just want you to know
You're the only one that pulls me in
You changed everything
Like one small shaft of light
Flooding into my eyes
I will never see things just the same...
