Judy Collins - Sanity And Grace lyrics

rate me

I would have sworn I could have flown

There were some things I hadn't known

Stripped to the soul I'd reached the bone

In sanity and grace

You gave me wings but took the sky

I am caught in a world that's flying by

Right on course headed to the dawn

Where my heart has gone

I had a dream that we were free

Free to sail on just you and me

Far from the force of gravity

Flung to the brightest star

There is a dream beyond my dream

Wearing a face I'd seldom seen

I caught a glimpse within your eyes

I saw the shadow rise

Through miles of stars

A sea of light

Bright as a beacon on the darkest night

Love finds a way

Through stars and stones

To let us know we are already home

Already

Half of my heart wants you to stay

Laugh at the night and rue the day

Born on the wings of a night that burns

Loving to be unlearned

Better than nothing half a heart

Better to go than not to start

Who can I ask? Who knows the part

Of sanity and grace

It could have been a fantasy

Was I in truth already free

Could I pretend I did not see

Say there was not a trace

Where would I hide the truth of you

What would I do that I could do

Gone are the things I thought I knew

Of sanity and grace

Through miles of stars

A sea of light

Bright as a beacon on the darkest night

Love finds a way

Through stars and stones

To let us know we are already home

Already

I am a fool but I am real

Caught in a wheel within a wheel

Taught by the jewel and the seal

Burned in the fire and lace

Leave me before the sun can rise

Go while the moon is in the skies

Casting their diamonds on the lake

Waters and hearts can break
