A Graceful Pose Songtext
von Jonah Smith

Wild eyed
From backwoods to city lights
Beautiful
You know you are so

A graceful pose
Her lines are drawn with broad strokes
It makes it hard for you to focus
A single note
That makes the words that I wrote
It′s only one of many

But her eyes tell you more
Than a Gamelan dancer's shifting glances
She moves for the sake of movement, these ancient dances
And finds clarity from within
Frees her mind, forgives her sins
And sheds the chaos of the world
With one motion


Too late
If I only knew it way back then
So long
If I never see your face again

A graceful pose
Her lines are drawn with broad strokes
It makes it hard for you to focus
A single note
That makes the words that I wrote
It′s only one of many

But her eyes tell you more
Than a Gamelan dancer's shifting glances
She moves for the sake of movement, these ancient dances
And finds clarity from within
Frees her mind, forgives her sins
And sheds the chaos of the world
With one motion

She finds clarity from within
Sheds the chaos of the world
She finds clarity from within
Sheds the chaos of the world with one motion
