Nisi Dominus, RV 608: 4. Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum (Andante) - Andreas Scholl, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra & Paul Dyer

You can't fool me I saw you when you came out You got your momma's taste But you got my mouth You will always have a part of me Nobody else is ever gonna see Gracie girl With your cards to your chest Walking on your toes What you got in the box Only Gracie knows And I would never try to make you be Anything you didn't really wanna be Gracie girl Life flies by in seconds You're not a baby Gracie, you're my friend You'll be a lady soon But until then You gotta do what I say You nodded off in my arms watching TV I won't move you an inch Even though my arm's asleep One day you're gonna wanna go I hope we taught you everything You need to know Gracie girl There will always be a part of me Nobody else is ever gonna see But you and me My little girl My Gracie girl

Here I am, lost in the wind And 'round in circles sailing Like a ship, that never comes in I'm standing by myself Sing a sad song, (for the) good man Sing a sad song for me Sing a sad song, (for) the sailor A thousand miles from the sea Here I am, I'm alone on the plain And the sun's going down And it's starting to rain And Papa we'll go sailing

Six a.m. day after Christmas I throw some clothes on in the dark The smell of cold Car seat is freezing The world is sleeping I am numb Up the stairs to her apartment She is balled up on the couch Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte They're not home to find us out And we drive Now that I have found someone I'm feeling more alone Than I ever have before She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly They call her name at seven-thirty I pace around the parking lot And I walk down to buy her flowers And sell some gifts that I got Can't you see It's not me you're dying for Now she's feeling more alone Then she ever has before She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly As weeks went by It showed that she was not fine They told me, "Son it's time to tell the truth," and She broke down and I broke down Cause I was tired of lying Driving back to her apartment For the moment we're alone Yeah she's alone And I'm alone Now I know it She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
