Gracious Lyrics by Ben Howard

Every Kingdom (Deluxe)

2011

[Verse 1]
How would you know?
When everything around you's changing
Like the weather of a big black storm
And who would you turn to?
Had I a ghost, a shadow at the most
Would you let me know?
[Verse 2]
'Cause I don't want to
Trouble your mind with a childish design
Of how it all should go
But I love you so
When it all comes clear, when the wind it settles
I'll be here, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
The sun upon that place
Darling I'll grow weary, happy still
With just the memory of your face
[Chorus]
Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget
The plans and the silhouettes you drew here
Gracious goes the ghost of you
My dear
[Verse 3]
How would you know?
When everything around you's bruised and battered
Like the cold night storm
And who would you turn to?
Had I a ghost, a shadow at the most
Would you tell me so?
[Verse 4]
Cause I, I adore you so
When it all comes clear, when the wind it settles
I'll be here, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
The sun upon that place
Darling, I'll grow weary, happy still
With just the memory of your face
[Chorus]
Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget
The plans and the silhouettes you drew here
Gracious goes the ghost of you
My dear
Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget
The plans and the silhouettes you drew here
Gracious goes the ghost of you
My dear
