Grace from Tombolo by Godwit

from Tombolo, released November 6, 2020
Well it seems that time has not been kind
They year has chewed you up and spat you out
And the water spilling from your mouth
Well, it dried up and it left you in a drought

I could tell you to be patient
I could tell you give it time
I could tell you to be faithful
I could tell you you’ll be fine
I could tell you to be balanced
I could say you gotta wait
I could tell you to be careful

But I’m still angry
(What have you done for me lately?)
I still feel it
(I think you’re driving me crazy)
You were calling
(O won’t somebody come save me)
And I’d chastise myself

Think I’m ready to forgive you
I can afford a little grace
Yesterday we were but children
Although it seems it’s been an age

O I’m not looking for apologies
I’ll take what I can get
If you can bury what you said
Then I’ll forget the rest

Took a call with a drink in hand
(Fuck it, I’ve been trying)
They all say that I’m just a man
And a man is not an island
Took your call with a drink in hand
(Fuck it, I’ve been trying)
Tell myself that you’re just a man
And a man is not an island

I still feel it
I’m still angry
You were calling collect
Did you get free?

These days you say you’re fine
And I almost believe you
Something about you makes me so sad
But it’s so good to see you
You’re not the ghost I made you
It never was a game
So go on and tell everybody I betrayed you
But honey, we’re not the same
