Howard, Ben - Gracious Lyrics






How would you know?
When everything around you's changing like the weather
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
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

And 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 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

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

  1. H.... ....

    What’s yellow

  2. C.... H....

    My uncle lost his battle with cancer last year and I came here a lot. My grandfather just died on Christmas day, and my father - only 48, and I only 21 - died 5 days ago. His funeral is in 8 hours and I am here trying to find the strength to carry on.

  3. B.... D....

    It’s weird, I’ve been feeling really down the past few weeks and coming back and listening to Ben’s music makes me feel strangely alive. I think this feeling is what music was meant to be, transcendent. Very deep without trying and able to be related to by all

  4. S.... S....

    First time I heard this song... I had been coming to terms with the fact that one of my favorite people ever had to leave me behind... just grew apart.

    So I sent it to her via Facebook messenger.. don't even know if she saw or heard it... but the other person who meant the world to me heard it... she had gotten my phone or password. And had always been kind of jealous at the way I spoke about her and felt for her... ultimately she let it go and we moved on and had several good years but she said she had wished I thought of her like that....

    But she always wins. Won, I should say because she's dead now... 2 years ago... so this and depth over distance are hers now.

    And it's true, I'll grow weary, happy still with just the memory of her face.

    Love who you have got for as long as you've got... and when life gets in the way or too hard sometimes, imagine that person going through it all with you gone and how much harder it could be
