This week's keyword phrase is "the curse of grace."
Another small song. Started in the barrel room of Old North State Winery before playing a private party. Finished, of course, on Sunday night (but not too late).
lyrics
Give me one good reason to forgive
Give me one good reason you'd even mention the idea
From where I stand I stand, it doesn't seem like I should
What I have planned won't turn into something good
I wanna take you higher, I wanna take you high
I wanna take you higher, I wanna see you do something more, something more than just give it a try
That's the curse of grace
We're starting to die in 100 different ways
But it's not the end of days
Let me tell you friend, it'll never be too late
I'm getting good at treason, I believe
Doesn't matter what the season, just sit & wait & see
I know what you mean, but it doesn't mean I will
From what I've seen, it'll be a while, be a while until
I wanna take you higher, I wanna take you high
I wanna take you higher, I wanna see you do something more, something more than just give it a try
That's the curse of grace
We're starting to die in 100 different ways
But it's not the end of days
Let me tell you friend, it'll never be too late
- harmonica -
That's the curse of grace
We're starting to die in 100 different ways
But it's not the end of days
Let me tell you friend, it'll never be too late
