about

Gravy and Grace is the last song on Swan Songs and a fitting closer. I don't write love songs and this one sort of backhanded. I know I'm pretty flawed and how I ended up with a wife like mine is a complete mystery to me and anyone who has ever met both of us. To herald the ending I give it a grandious orchestral intro and a funky Grace-ful ending. I'm on D tuned resonator gtr, mandolin, and Fender Rhodes with key bass, kick drum and percussion, after the multitude of synths at the intro.

lyrics

I KNOW YOU'RE WORRIED 'BOUT ME
AND HALF OF WHAT I DO
HALF TIME I’M HALF CRAZY
HALF TIME I’M WORRIED TOO
IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LOVE YOU, IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T CARE
NOT ALL THAT BAGGAGE WE ACCRUED FRM HERE & THERE
I TOOK THE LONG WAY ROUND & WOUND UP IN THIS PLACE
GONNA TAKE SOME GETTIN' USED TO GRAVY & GRACE

I NEVER HAD NO GOOD LIFE LIKE THE ONE I GOT NOW
I TRIED MY BEST TO GET IT ONCE OR TWICE,
SLIPPED PAST ME ANYHOW
IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT YOU DAWN TO DUSK TO DAWN
WORSHIP EVERY INCH OF GROUND U SET SWEET YOUR FEET ON
IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LOVE YOUR HAIR,
YOUR SMILE, YOUR FORM, YOUR FACE
I'M JUST NOW GETTING USED TO GRAVY AND GRACE
HOLD ME TIGHTER THAN TIGHT, ALL MY FEARS ALAY
RIGHT NOW I’M BLACK AS THE NIGHT
I'LL BE BRIGHTER SOME DAY, HELP ME GET THAT WAY

I FEEL LIKE THERE’S A STRANGER
IN THE SHOES I'M STANDIN IN
BUT OF LEAVIN YOU THERE’S NO DANGER,
YOUR LOVE SWEET AS SIN
IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT YOU HERE
TO COME AND SHARE MY DAYS
I SWEAR I’D FOLLOW YOU DOWN WHEREVER YOUR PATH LAYS
FORGIVE MY TREPIDATION, FORGIVE THIS SNAIL’S PACE
I AM SLOWLY GETTING’ USED TO GRAVY AND GRACE
