Lyrics
Grace i'm clawing at the ceiling I'm afraid i don't have time They will come for me at morning With their guns clasped to their sides But i ask you to remember In this prison we were wed I will be your love forever even as the steal my breath Grace, be kind Grace, be kind With the walls here as our witness I will state my love to you So that when you hear the bullets you know my souls in wait for you Oh but darlin please forgive me I'm afraid i don't have time and though i'll say i'd take back nothing I know you know thats just a lie Grace, be kind Grace, be kind
