01:00I cried your name through the chapel ceiling.
01:02Grace, I poured my soul out dry.
01:05Playing love now through the strings under this level county sky.
01:10Weeks went by like winter frost on model farm road lawns.
01:13I've watched the doorway every day from twilight until dawn.
01:16Packing up my fiddle case when the night shift came to close.
01:19Getting hired for a high society wedding in my Sunday clothes.
01:22Stood upon that polished day with chandelier shining bright.
01:25I cried to my knee string to the heavens and I closed my eyes up tight.
01:28Spun a melody so fierce and sweet.
01:30It made the dancers freeze.
01:31Put every ounce of longing in the shadow of the trees.
01:34Oh, and tonight.
01:36Across this cork city town.
01:38My callous fingers burn when the sun goes down.
01:41Ain't got no family name.
01:43Ain't got no gold to show.
01:44Just the timber of his pine wooden horse hair on my boat.
01:48I cried your name to the chapel ceiling.
01:50Grace, I poured my soul out dry.
01:53Playing love now through the strings under this level county sky.
02:10I opened up my eyes when the final note ran cold.
02:13Turned around and there she stood wearing velvet and gold.
02:16Grace grabbed my trembling hands, whispered soft into the dark.
02:19I never knew the boy who said the why.
02:22But it's not just kind of smart.
02:23Cause tonight.
02:25Across this cork city town.
02:27We tore the velvet walls and the fairy loves down.
02:30Didn't need no family name.
02:31Didn't need my chest of gold.
02:32Just to hide my scores of devotion and a fiddle to unfold.
02:36We kissed beneath the steeple as the bells began to chime.
02:40And now she's rising in my truck, leaving high society behind.
02:47Yeah, grace of me in the evening midst.
02:49Just the cork, waiters fiddle and the sweetest kiss.
02:52Lord have mercy on this heart.
