Grace Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

Once you were an angel 

Jesse honey is it hard to take 

Does it feel so bad to be 28 you were 23 

And you could do anything now you open your mouth 

And spit the gutter out 

I was walking down by the river thames 

I decided that I should throw me in 

Because you broke my heart and you made me weep 

In the name of your sensitivity 

Still once you were an angel 

Did nobody tell you Jesse honey oh you look so pale 

And old and so very ill at ease these days 

So you tell yourself that you'll never win 

And you drown your sins in amphetamine 

Do you weary so of that bitter taste 

So you spit in my face just to keep you entertained 

Still I can only love you I have no option but to 

Is hard to take is it is it hard to swallow 

Is it is it hard to take from grace 

Once you were an angel 

Did nobody tell you Jesse honey is it hard to take 

Does it feel so bad to be 28 you were 23 

And you could do anything 

Now you open your mouth and you spit the gutter out 

Out in the summer rain 

You will begin again 

Out in the summer rain 

We will begin again
