Waiting for Grace
Waiting for Grace
Six o’clock comes and she’s up with the dawn
counting the lines on her face
Lately she can’t help but think to herself
what ever happened to Grace
She’s off the her job at the grocery store
she tells herself it ain’t that bad
But the radio’s playing a Johnny Cash song
that just makes her feel so damn sad
She’ll come around, that’s what they say
but she doesn’t tell it that way
It’s more like a weight, pulling her down
till she can’t get up off the ground
One o’clock she’s on her cigarette break
had all she can take of this place
checking out groceries five days a week
what ever happened to Grace
She’ll come around, that’s what they say
but she doesn’t tell it that way
It’s more like a weight, pulling her down
till she can’t get up off the ground
She’s falling down, down, down
She’s falling down again
She’s falling down, down, down
She’s falling
Down, flat on her face
turned out the lights, closing the drapes
She’s fallen down
Nobody sees
but everybody stares
everyone stares
Five o’clock comes with the end of the day
she thinks about heading back home
Where there’s no one to ask about the day that she had
she sits down to dinner - alone
She’s falling down - everyone knows
She’s careful but sometimes she shows
She’ll come around, that’s what they say
Now everyone’s waiting for Grace
Everyone’s waiting for Grace
Everyone’s waiting for Grace
