Damask she said
don’t forget me

Too old before her time
a woman in a child

Unraveling before 20
ribbons forgetting their bows

Damask she said
is it in me?

She’s got a long way to run
to let the elegance seep in

Because she’s tired
because she’s worn

Because those GRACES
have forgotten her with thorns

She blows against the wind
cutting into sky

Damask she said
return to me

Damask my prayer
Damask my intercession

God give me that elegance
that has fallen away

God give me that grace
that can never be replaced

Damask she said
Cover me
