Billy Joel State Of Grace Lyrics

State Of Grace Lyrics

There you go, slipping away into a state of grace

I know the look that comes
across your face

It's so familiar to me

Here I am, trying to keep you in
my line of sight

I'm never certain that you read me right

Sometimes you
don't want to see me



Here we are, both of us know we're in
love

But that isn't always enough

I never could rise above it all, down
I fall



But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of
grace

Granted, this world is not a perfect place

Still it's the world
that I'm in

Here I am talking while you don't hear a word I say

Knowing
you're waatching me from far away

Somewhere that I've never
been



Don't you see, you lived a different life than me

It doesn't
mean you have to be afraid of how

We're not the same, don't leave me
now



But darling there you go, slipping away



How can I get you
to stay where you are

Keep you from going to far

Holding you here is so
hard to do...I'm losing you



And darling there you go, slipping away
into a state of grace

Drifting away into your sacred place

Someplace
that I've never been

There you go, slipping away, slipping away into a
state of grace

There you go, slipping away into a state of grace

There
you go...drifting away...
