[Verse 1] Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight It's 2 am, I'm drunk again, it's heavy on my mind I could never love again so much as I love you Where you end, where I begin is like a river going through Take my eyes, take my heart, I need them no more If never again they fall upon the one I so adore
[Chorus] Excuse me, please, one more drink Could make it strong? Cause I don't need to think She broke my heart, my Grace is gone One more drink and I'll move on One more drink and I'll be gone
[Chorus] Excuse me, please, one more drink Could make it strong? Because I don't need to think She broke my heart, my Grace is gone One more drink and I'll go Excuse me, please, one more drink Could make it strong? Because I don't need to think She broke my heart, my Grace is gone
[Outro] One more drink and I'll move on One more drink and I'll be gone One more drink, my Grace is gone

“Grace is Gone” is a song about losing ones “grace” in God… not a girl named Grace. Dave wrote it around the time his stepfather died. Finding it difficult to write a song about a stepfather, he came up with “Grace”. People connect to the song so well because it can make the listener feel the loss of a loved one or something that they loved.
The jazzy, country style gives this ballad the power to make you feel the pain in Dave’s somber vocals. Throw in a groovy interplay between an elastic bass and some rolling drums and you have the true spirit of DMB.
