Lyrics
The green-paint door to the Angel's Share lounge
Was sticking again that October, after the last round.
My thumb was raw from the push of the pin,
Darning a velvet hemline worn too thin.
The whole room smelled of stale beer and defeat.
[Chorus]
And that was a second kind of grace.
A quiet stitch in a frantic place.
A gift I didn't know how to own.
A seed you planted and left alone.
[Verse 2]
You shuffled in, all busted grin and tweed,

A seed you planted and left alone.

Some patches hold, some still don't sit right.
But your words unpicked one knot in me,
So small, and so completely.
[Outro]
A second grace.
In that frantic place.
