Saving Grace (Bonus Track)

(album: Love, War And The Ghost Of Whitey Ford - 2008)

One time around the block
Two times around the clock
Three times, don't cross the little lady (lady)

So pretty and, oh, so bold
Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road
She said, "I don't even think that God can save me" (save me)

(Am I) gaining ground
(Am I) losing face
(Have I) lost and found my saving grace
Thankful for the gift my angels gave me

Born alone, we die alone
'n' I'm just sitting here by the phone
Waiting for the Lord to send my calling

Street wise from the boulevard
Jesus only knows that she tries too hard
She's only trying to keep the sky from falling

Any man who says it's Heaven and Hell
Prob'ly got something useless to sell
You ask me if I'm saved, but what's it to ya?

Blow a quarter, cop another eight
You're running out of high, you're losing your faith
Throw your hands up and scream, "Hallelujah"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Amen

One time around the sun
Another year older and my work ain't done
It's time for me to write the final chapter (chapter)

Deal the cards and roll the dice
Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll are my only vice
Trying to figure out just what's here after (here after)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Amen
