Fairport Convention - Grace and Favour lyrics

rate me

Out of all that’s been said

Clothes____ spinning _____

Passengers and crew

Turned the destination clear

The head of steal all the way

A holy man

Therefore no fishing

Humble was the captain’s name

Lighted by a mighty storm

A private cannot hold its own

Raising sales in heavy seas

See you around the light house wild

Everything blown off ____

Flying through the soaring peace

Blasting ship, mighty holes

Rails on deck

The holy man is losing grip

Falling slightly

Now she is lost

The nature will have its way

She’s broken in 2

Sinking beneath the frame

Sirens and dark

Down in the drowning breeze

Dancing like sparks

To an eternity

Darling time to launch the boat

It’s hard to keep the cover float

Everything slows

She’s keeping it steady now

See how she rolls

Going towards the ground

They’re getting close

Riding the highest wave

Now that she knows

Death is a breath away

Grace and favour on the day

No one blamed it on the storm

Humble was the man to pay

Sailor’s life, married life

Dropped young girls

Leading them to silent

Never know when they will return

They will return
