vox clamantis in deserto

Grace

lyrics by harlan blynn

Verse 1:

There I was, my head hung low, in a motel called San Quinn

Guilt like chains hold me tight, no hope to pull me in

Heard a whisper on the wind, soft and sweet like summer rain

“Come to me, I’ll set you free, break what binds your pain.”

Chorus:

Like fire in a moonless sky, a star to guide my way

Like fire pulsing in my vein, it’s you, oh Grace, I crave

Verse 2:

My only friends lived on the road where red neon lights burn

Empty laughter, hollowed hearts, lessons I was born to learn

Soft green eyes pierced my empty gaze, showed me a different road

Led my hand to a higher ground, where Grace could ease my load

Chorus:

Like fire in a moonless sky, a star to guide my way

Like fire pulsing in my vein, it’s you, Oh Grace, I crave

Bridge:

No more shadows, no more chains, no more bottle in my hand

Only a needle and its pain, your letters written in the sand

Chorus:

Like fire in a moonless sky, a star to guide my way

Like fire pulsing in my vein, it’s you, Oh Grace, I crave

Verse 3:

Beneath the weight of winter’s breath, north grows a bracken frond

Memories drift life falling leaves, whispers of notes beyond

Saw her dance with the wind, drifting through dreams and fears

Her every tear a cleansing rain, washing away the years
