Gracious Lyrics

How would you know?
When everything around you's changing like the weather of a big black storm.
And who would you turn to?
Had I a ghost, a shadow at the most. Would you let me know?
'cause I don't want to
Trouble your mind with the childish design of how it all should go.
But I love you so
When it all comes clear, when the wind it settles I'll be here you know.

'cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers,
The sand upon that place.
Darling I'll grow weary, happy still, with just the memory of your face.

Gracious goes the ghost of you and I will never forget
The plans and the silhouettes you drew here
Gracious goes the ghost of you my dear.

How would you know?
When everything around you's bruised and battered like the cold night storm
And who would you turn to?
Had I a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you tell me so?
'cause I, I adore you so
When it all comes clear, the wind it settles I'll be here, you know.

'cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
The sun upon that place.
Darling I'll grow weary, happy still, with just the memory of your face.

Gracious goes the ghost of you and I will never forget
The plans and the silhouettes you drew here
Gracious goes the ghost of you my dear.

Gracious goes the ghost of you and I will never forget
The plans and the silhouettes you drew here
Gracious goes the ghost of you my dear.

in my opinion he is has lost a girl and he is being strong about it, as he understands that there is nothing he can do to stop her going, so has to just let it happen, but it still hurts.

My Opinion
Cover art for Gracious lyrics by Ben Howard

How would you know? When everything around you's changing like the weather, A big black storm. And where'd you turn to? Or hide a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you let me know? Cause I don't want to, To trouble your mind with the childish design of how it all should go. But I love you so, When it all comes clear, when the wind is settled, I'll be here, you know.

Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers The sand upon that place Darling I'll grow weary, happy still With just the memory of your face

Gracious goes the ghost of you And I will never forget the plans and the Silhouettes you drew here and Gracious goes the ghost of you My dear
