From the recording Again The Beginner

Lyrics

Dignity And Grace
I heard it on the news today
A peaceful day at home
Scattered clouds above the couch and showers by the phone
It’s stable in the kitchen
But some garbage must be moved
They said you’d make a statement in the early afternoon
I heard it on the news today
The skirmishes should end
The living room stayed neutral from a treaty with the den
The pantry was engulfed in flames from riots after lunch
I’ll be waiting in the closet for the passing of the grudge
The film at ten showed everything
In every room
And every drink
Every flame and every crash
Every chip in every glass
Come join me at the table
Before this friendship ends
The truth will stretch like thunderclouds
But only til it bends
Let’s try to make it through this meal
While we try to save some fac
Let’s sit together knee to knee
Singing dignity and grace
When dignity and grace ring out
That’s where the light shines in
That’s when the window opens
And it’s where the darkness ends
And when the shadow lifts the veil
It’s gone without a trace
We’ll sit together knee to knee
Singing dignity and grace
