You're not sure but she makes you think She can't see you but from afar it’s a bit puzzling When you haven't the chance and you almost believe She'd rather be invisible for the sake of mystery She'll draw you close with a glance, you don't yet sense Her flighty fence at your approach she'll draw the gate Time and time again until you begin to think There's not much there behind her thoughtless wait She'll show you everything from across the room But her face is unpainted color in the nearness of ligh When you finally turn, you'll finally learn, to look away The smile you'll miss, the flicker of mischief in her eye Is her greatest secret, the one that will pull in another And all too soon he'll begin to think he's just as far

Far From Grace
You're not sure but she makes you think She can't see you but from afar it’s a bit puzzling When you haven't the chance and you almost believe She'd rather be invisible for the sake of mystery She'll draw you close with a glance, you don't yet sense Her flighty fence at your approach she'll draw the gate Time and time again until you begin to think There's not much there behind her thoughtless wait She'll show you everything from across the room But her face is unpainted color in the nearness of ligh When you finally turn, you'll finally learn, to look away The smile you'll miss, the flicker of mischief in her eye Is her greatest secret, the one that will pull in another And all too soon he'll begin to think he's just as far
