State of Grace

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 watching 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 too 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...
