Lyrics for Song: Gracie
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Ryan Adams
Hello Gracie, you're a good little girl
It's a beautiful world oh when you're out in it
Last time I saw you playing in the yard
You were running with children and the old people were smiling
Do you miss me, would you know me at all?
If you walked by my house, would you smile and turn the corner?
Blow your kisses, oh make it feel worse
You know you gotta make the best of the time God has given you
I scratched your name into a wall on the beach
With my keys on the side of the pier
I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying
With you mid-summer in the grass in the fields
Nobody was right, nobody was wrong, but somebody had to go
Nobody is here, so nobody is gone,
Hello, goodbye, hello
Hello, hello, hello
I scratched your name in my arm
With my keys on the beach on the side of the pier
I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place
Down the block far enough away it's like I'm not here
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, so I have to let you go
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, but I gotta let you go
Hello, hello, hello, hello I gotta let you go
Hello, hello, hello, I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go
Hello, hello, hello, hello

Gracie
Ryan Adams' "Gracie" stands as a poignant exploration of lost love and memory, characteristic of his introspective songwriting style. Recorded during a period marked by his transition from the polished production of "Cold Roses" to the rawer, more acoustic textures of "Ashes & Fire," the track exemplifies his ability to blend folk sensibilities with alternative rock energy. The song reflects Adams' recurring themes of nostalgia and the haunting nature of past relationships, delivered with a voice that balances vulnerability with a distinct, gravelly edge. As part of his broader discography, "Gracie" captures the emotional depth found in his mid-to-late 2000s output, where personal narrative often drives the musical composition. It remains a standout example of his work that prioritizes lyrical honesty over commercial polish, resonating with listeners who appreciate authentic, emotionally charged rock ballads. |
