Gracie’s Ghost

                      

  All the sorrow and all of the pain

Confusion lives a life of it’s own.

Secret sounds from an empty room

Gracie’s ghost wanders on alone

Down the hall and up the stairs

Desperately crying out in loneliness 

What she sees she just can’t understand

Gracie’s ghost wanders on alone

All the madness of her bourgeois life spent 

Separation is the burden she now carries 

Relent this life and move on from here 

Gracie’s ghost wanders on alone 

From this house, from this hell she will be spared 

In the light released from the dark shroud of memories 

A new life waits beyond these walls

Gracie’s ghost wanders on alone 

Beyond the shadows of years gone by

Married to the disease misery adheres 

life is pain heaven waits

Gracie’s ghost wanders on alone

Where she goes the path is hers and hers alone

Throw down the stone and be gone from here

Fly on gracious winds and find the way

Gracie’s ghost wanders on alone
