Noble Ground - Patty Griffin

I can fool myself like any fool can do

Forgetting which ones are glass or jewels

Nights of shattered pearls and rules

And no one without blame

No one without blame

I can live the life that’s been written down

Or fight the urge right to the ground

Right to the ground I stake my claim

My claim to noble ground

I squandered nights in silence

When singing was the cure

One day it turned around and looked at me

The beauty that endures

Behind the eyes

Beneath the stars

Below the walls

No, never far

Shining, shining, shining

On and on again

It’s very, very quiet

In this early hour

It’s only me

And the night blooming flowers

Staking our claim

To noble ground
