Moment Of Grace

I didn't want a river

But you handed me the sea

I didn't want a forest

But you chopped down every tree

I didn't want these blue skies

But you shot down every bird

I didn't want these questions

That you're screaming to be heard

And the distance between stars

Is the distance between our hearts

And the difference between runners in a race

Is a moment of grace

I didn't want a feature length film

I said a preview will do

But somehow you convinced me

To sit here in the dark with you

And you carry this hole in your heart

You expect me to fill it on the double

But I can't carry more than myself

Oh my own shit and shovel

And the distance between stars

Is the distance between our hearts

And the difference between runners in a race

Is a moment of grace

Da dum dum dum daday

Da dum da dada day

Da dum dum dum daday

Da dum dada day

I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't want you

I just needed you the night

You say a man's got to do what a man's got to do

I say

A woman's

Got

The same right

And the distance between stars

Is the distance between our hearts

Oh ohhh oh

And the difference between runners in a race

Is a moment of grace

Is a moment
