about

When a person saves you, it's worth documenting in some way. This is my attempt. To the mother of my children, you did just that.

lyrics

Woman of grace


Up and down on these shallow shoulders
Push the world on this timid frame
But meeting you has stopped me reeling
So with me could you remain?

The rain fell with a smatter of diamonds
Crushed in the clouds that brood up high
From this shower you navigated
A place to my arms where you now lie

So what person are you
And where did you come from
Were you told there was some purpose?
To come down from so high
Woman of grace, woman of mine

Where we embrace the rays hug us gently
And fragile thunder moves to let in light
So as to an empty canvas
You added some colour and breathed in life

A world is formed by a sharing of such souls
And so as creeping ivy it must spread
A flower to symbolise all that’s decent
Wither in bloom but not dying from dead

So what good are threads as these?
If you never take me out
For if with you I’m never seen
I absolutely have no style
Woman of grace, woman of mine
