From the album Troublemaker
Lace
Words and Music by Jon Storm
Lace
on your breast
But the test of your grace
pales the lacemaster's craft.
Chaste
as a child
Yet all the while
there's a knowing smile
on your face, and I doubt
that you're everything you seem to be about
Mm-hm
Caught
by your gaze
and it plays in my thoughts
like the soft way you laughed
Taught
by your hands
Now I understand
that the smile was planned
for the part that you played
that you played so well till I can't look away
Mm-hm
Like a portrait on the wall,
my eyes have lost their function
save to follow you
And I do
I'd abandon the way I live
to give you your way
if my way were mine to give
Oh, I'd give you your way
if your way were mine to give
if your way were mine to give
if your way were mine to give

"This song was written in the Dark Ages. For some reason Cary Grace loved it and wanted to sing harmony on it—except we could never find a key for it we could both sing it in. I got the short straw on this one take (you just have to know Cary), which was all I could take. Some people still like it, though, so I succumbed and put it on "Troublemaker." As-is. Visit Cary's web site and hear her own songs. She's a unique artist. Just has weird tastes in my music."
