Fairport Convention - Grace and Favour lyrics
rate meOut 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
