Grace, I watched you sleeping All worn out and dreaming You slept through the fall I know you love this time of year It always made you smile Grace, I watched you breathing All quiet and peaceful But you were so weak When I left that night I somehow knew Your patient heart was finally through But I never cried I never cried Everything falls for a reason Gravity pulls it to earth Everyone to a season Everything falls into place Witness the fall of Grace Grace, none of us blamed you Nobody shamed you When we laid you down Everyone was there, you know Your folks, your friends, and me But I never cried I never cried
