Grace for Saints and Ramblers-Iron And Wine
But it all came down to you and I
But it all came down to you and I
There were banged up heels 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 flashflooded street
There were budding blossoms, blaring Johnny Rotten
Chewed up and swallowed by the prophet they were trying to follow
Pink to green and we payed 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 we’re 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 the leash
There were sleepless dreamers, Tuesday 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 luck lane
There were hopeless sinners, sweepstake winners
They danced with the farmer’s daughter, tangled with the common lawyers
All came down to you and I (down to you and I)
When it all came down to you and I (down to you and I)
And it all came down to you and I (down to you and I)
There was loving in the lane, sugar in the shade
There were backstab handshakes made on fate
We were never out of time and we never entertained
Anybody saying the habit of the wind was gonna change
There were misled misfits, teeth and biscuits
Problems full of penny wishes, bodies 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 star handlers
High about the aviary, underneath the cemetery
And we never wondered why
Cause the sun was in our eyes
There were sheep for the field, there was grease for the wheel
We were drinking with the luminaries, eating with the missionaries
All came down to you and I (down to you and I)
But it all came down to you and I (down to you and I)
Well it all came down to you and I (down to you and I)
Well it all came down to you and I (down to you and I)
Well it all came down to you and I (down to you and I)
Well it all came down to you and I (down to you and I)
