Blue Lace Window

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She'd split her lunch with the girls Saved the last bite for the shy ones Kept a bandage in her bag And a smile for the hard ones But her hands always shook at dusk And her eyes knew the hard road She was sweet like a church bell Ringing over a back road [Pre-Chorus] And nobody called her name When the room went quiet Nobody saw the storm That was living inside her [Chorus] So much too soon, so much too soon Blue lace in a broken room So much too soon, so much too soon The kindest heart nobody knew (No one heard her) (No one saw her) So much too soon, so much too soon [Verse 2] Sirens wrote their sad books On the curb by her last door Cold lights on her shoulders One more night, then no more She had dust on her promise And rain in her pocket Tried to outrun the dark But the dark never stopped it [Pre-Chorus] And nobody called her name When the vans rolled by Nobody held her face When the morning cried [Chorus] So much too soon, so much too soon Blue lace in a broken room So much too soon, so much too soon The kindest heart nobody knew (No one heard her) (No one saw her) So much too soon, so much too soon [Bridge] If love was a doorway She stood there all night If grace wore a body It wore hers just right A rose through the pavement A hand in the flood The most beautiful soul And the world was not enough [Final Chorus] So much too soon, so much too soon Blue lace in a broken room So much too soon, so much too soon The kindest heart nobody knew (No one heard her) (No one saw her) So much too soon, so much too soon
