The 52 Club's writing prompt for this week was "grace" and/or "Grace".

Like always I thought verse after verse would flow like last call beer.

Like always I was wrong. The lyrical road trip doesn't have a shortcut. Dead ends, lonely alleys, speed traps, flat tires all add to the stimulation of the journey. The enjoyment of songwriting is the trip. Like a scavenger hunt but you don't know what you are looking for. You think you find things you need but you really don't know. Then, scabang! The ragged mixture of verbs, nouns and melody transform into a song. Good, bad, it doesn't matter. You got there and it was exciting. Here are the lyrics to my grace/Grace prompt.

I’m Chasing Dragons

Walt Sample

I fell from grace

Into your arms

A tempting angel embrace

You are the life

Firing in my blood

Warm guns of paradise

I’m chasing dragons with green tiger eyes

Don’t wanna’ live don’t wanna’ die

The white horse flies

With wings of fire

Melting my hollow glass eyes

I dance in a grave

Of scalding snow

Riding the crest of each wave

I’m chasing dragons with green tiger eyes

Don’t wanna’ live don’t wanna’ die

I’m chasing dragons with green tiger eyes

Don’t wanna’ live don’t wanna’ die

I fell from grace

Into your arms

A tempting angel embrace

I’m chasing dragons with green tiger eyes

Don’t wanna’ live don’t wanna’ die

I’m chasing dragons with green tiger eyes

Don’t wanna’ live don’t wanna’ die
