"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
