lyrics

Amorous Grace Joe Woodard

Oh, amorous grace, how sweet the smell
Immortal game of show and tell
You can almost taste the rhythm of love
So chaste until it comes down to
Amorous grace, it's in the air

Here as we speak, it's on a spree
Saving old wretches like you and me
The amazing part is finding a cowering heart
Just waiting to spring
With your defenses down around your knees

I once was so lost, now nothing's changed
I wriggled right out of heaven's range
It was grace or at least that lovely idea
That kept me braced for a panacea
At some point, the waiting becomes the end

Oh, amorous grace, you desperate thing
All dressed up in lace to hide your sting
In a pool of bliss, the suction of heat from
One kiss can lead to the fine line between
The fast life of abandon and the slow death from drowning

The blind lead the blind into blinding alleys
Where lovers recover from wine and dalliance
You could claim insanity, what an excuse
The vanity clause is closer to truth
A sensual obsession, that's life, that's all

The morals of stories are slippery beasts
They can strike like a snake or set like a feast
You can always count on stories and friends
The fountain of love has no end
Oh, amorous grace, how sweet the scent
Oh, amorous grace, how sweet the sting
