gracie

Gracie takes the bottles from the porch where you have left them
They are age old drinks of wine and wishin'
Drivin' down the monorail with all the best intentions
She's a picture of perfection with her cotton colored hair
But its you she thinks of in the hours while she's awake
She takes her lipstick from her kleenex to make a smile
You she thinks of when she thinks of her mistakes
Regrets an open road that stretches out for miles

Coffee pots and bottles cups and all of this disorder
She soaks her plates in the dishwater till its cold
Her reflection in the windows of the stars around the corner
Walk beside her while she's striding down the road

But its you she thinks of in the hours while she's awake
She takes her lipstick from her kleenex to make a smile
You thinks of when she thinks of her mistakes
Regrets an open road that stretches out for miles

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la

You she thinks of in the hours while shes awake
She takes her lipstick from her kleenex to make a smile
You thinks of when she thinks of her mistakes
Regrets an open road that stretches out for miles

She left on a Monday
She's a sign down the road

and your hair ......?

But you don't expect to get by
Its an ordinary sky
Todays like any other day
When all of the airplanes
Riding in the clouds
And nothings wrong
But its already Sunday
And you know just how Sunday
Is the day that she will come around
Go to her foolish man
Whats the use of having pride if you don't have her
She'll endure all she can
When you can make this easier on her

Its all like sinking
You're rising to stay afloat
Like a windborne paper boat
Or uncharted sea
Its no question why
You're driving to kill some time
Racing the power lines
Back into town

Go to her foolish man
Whats the use of having pride if you don't have her
She'll endure all she can
But you can make it easieron her
Go to her foolish man
Whats the use of having pride if you don't have her
She'll endure all she can
When you can make this easier on her.

And all the stargazers bloom
Throw the stars around the room
I was waiting for the day
For you to lull me

And all the elements conspire
With shiny things that catch the eye
I was waiting for the day
For you to lull me

Precious, precious thing
You are the thought that makes me sing
Wanna leave all my possessions
It's a rare and precious, precious thing

And all the elements conspire
With shiny things that catch the eye
I was waiting for the day
For you to lull me

Precious, precious thing
You are the thought that makes me sing
Wanna leave all my possessions
It's a rare and precious, precious thing

And then all I need
Is to get on the phone
To get on the phone
And call you
And call you

As clear as rain on a street
It shines like bright, coloured stone
These things no-one can own
They are for you
This is for you
This is for you
This is for you.
 

Just wanna know ya
Just wanna talk to ya
I wanna hear about your day
I'd never leave ya
I'd never be mean to ya
I'd always let you get your way

Something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing's gonna happen today

If I were honest
I'd tell you everything
But it keeps coming out as lies
It's not a promise
In case you're wondering
It's not some blessing in disguise

Something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing's gonna happen today

I know romance is not in fashion
And my heart is on the line
If you would be so kind
To help me kill some time

Something good just might come crashing
From the stars that light the sky
If you would be so kind
To help me kill some time

Just wanna know ya
Just wanna talk to ya
I wanna hear about your day
I'd never leave ya
Never be mean to ya
I'd always let you get your way

Something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing's gonna happen today
Something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing's gonna happen today.
