Iron & Wine - Grace For Saints And Ramblers lyrics

But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I There were banged-up heads, stealing first base Underneath the table so we never said grace Falling out of bed for the workday week There was kissing in the cracks of the flash flood street There were budding blossoms, blaring Johnny Rotten Chewed up and swallowed by the profit they were trying to follow Picked too green and we paid no tax On our quick, romantic cul-de-sacs But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I There were crashed-out cars in our barcode clothes They were rubbing on each other, rubbing ghost on ghost There were jumped-up punks and the Jesus freaks Weaving in and out of trouble, wrapping round and round a leash sponsored links There were sleepless dreamers, doomsday preachers The message and the messenger, the gun beneath the register The sweet gum tree by the tough drunk tank We could never give enough to the bad blood bank There were hopeless sinners, sweepstake winners They danced with the farmer's daughter, Capered with the corporate lawyers But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I There was laughing in the light, sugar in the shade There were back-stab handshakes made on faith We were never out of time, and we never entertained Anybody say the habit of the wind was gonna change There were misled misfits, teething biscuits Fountains full of penny wishes, potties full of pretty fishes Side by side with the birds and bees And we never said grace, never ever took a knee With the saints and ramblers, movie stars handlers High above the aviary, underneath the cemetery And we never wondered why Cause the sun was in our eyes There was seed for the field There was grease for the wheel We were drinking with the luminaries, Eating with the missionaries But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I
