about

A song for all mothers without children.

lyrics

God couldn't hear what God couldn't give,
God, he don't listen to prayers, anymore.
He left a note on the door saying, "Out to lunch--
Be back when I punch this last nail in the coffin."
My angel's just beyond the grave,
God don't let her sing here,
Dear God, good God, Gracie.

Gracie come home your mother's been lonely
And hollering things in the dark.

Gracie, I know it's been hard when you're living alone,
God, I know, it's been hard for me.
Gracie, I swear there are good ones out there,
But none of them's waited as long as me.
I found you in Philly and lost you and then,
Caught your face in the crowd and then lost you again.

Gracie, I can see you in that pretty church dress,
Your eyes baptism blue and hymnal in red.
Girl, weren't we taught how to be the blessed--
Weren't we?
God, Grace would've been sufficient for me.
