Grace For Saints And Ramblers

Iron & Wine

Transposer:

[Intro] [Chorus] But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I [Verse 1] There were banged up hands stealing first base Underneath the tables so we never sang grace Falling out of bed for the workday week There was kissing in the cracks of the flash flood streets There were button blossoms and merry Johnny Rotten Chewed up and swallowed by the profit they were trying to follow Bit too green and we paid no tax on our quick romantic cul de sac [Chorus] But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I [Verse 2] There were washed out cars in our bark-old clothes They were rubbing on each other rubbing ghost on ghost There were jonesed-up punks and Jesus freaks Weaving in and out of trouble wrapping round and round a leash There were sleepless dreamers blues day preachers The message and the messenger gum beneath the register The sweet gum tree by the dug dunk tank We could never give enough to the bad-luck bank There were hopeless sinners sweepstake winners They danced with the farmer’s daughter capered with the corporate lawyers [Chorus] But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I [Verse 3] There was laughing in the night sugar in the shade There were back stab handshakes made on faith We were never out of time and we never entertained Anybody said out of habit that the wind was going to change There were restless misfits teething biscuits Bodies full of penny wishes parties full of pretty dishes Side by side with the birds and bees And we never sang grace and never ever took a knee With the saints and ramblers movie star handlers High above the aviary underneath the cemetery And we never wondered why ’cause the sun was in our eyes There was seed for the field there was grease for the wheel We were drinking with the luminaries eating with the visionaries [Chorus] But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I But it all came down to you and I

Cette chanson évoque des souvenirs de moments partagés, des instants d'intimité et de complicité entre deux personnes. Elle décrit un tableau de la vie, mêlant des images de jeunesse, de rêve et de désillusion, où l'amour et les rencontres se mêlent à la réalité du quotidien. Les paroles illustrent une connexion profonde, transcendant les luttes et les défis, tout en soulignant que finalement, tout repose sur la relation entre ces deux individus. Le contexte semble être une réflexion sur le passé, probablement ancré dans une enfance ou une jeunesse rebelle, où les valeurs traditionnelles étaient mises de côté. Entre les rêves de grandeur et les galères de la vie, les protagonistes naviguent à travers un monde tumultueux, mais leur lien demeure intact malgré les incertitudes.
