Gracie

(album: Cardinals III/IV - 2010)

Hello Gracie you're a good little girl
it's a beautiful world oh when you're out in it
Last time I saw you playing in the yard
You were running with children and the old people were smiling
Do you miss me would you know me at all?
If you walked by my house would you smile and turn the corner?
Blow your kisses oh make it feel worse
you know you gotta make the best of the time got has given you

I scratch your name into a wall on the beach with my keys on the side of the pier
I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying with you mid-summer
in the grass in the fields

Nobody was right Nobody was wrong, but somebody had to go
Nobody is here so nobody is gone, hello, goodbye, hello
hello, hello, hello

I scratch your name in my arm with my keys on the beach on the side of the pier
I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place
down the block far enough away it's like I'm not here

You're in my heart and you're in my soul, so I have to let you go
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, but I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go
