  • John Bradford, an English reformer & martyr, was heard to say "There but for the grace of God goes John Bradford" while imprisoned in the Tower of London when he saw a criminal on his way to execution.

    "There but for the grace of God go I" became something you say when something bad that has happened to someone else could have happened to you.

    I believe that Simon has taken artistic liberty with this phrasing, wherein the rain is the prisoner and God is his love Kathy.

    One guitar - key of G.

  • @KealanMcSexy Scary ain't it?

  • 10 people have had an orgasm listening to this song and have accidentally pressed the wrong button

  • This one's so pretty, one forgets it's Simon, rather than Garfunkle, singing.

  • @thomashilsdon Which is essentially what you said.. just clearer!

    Kathy's existence, her grace, rescues the speaker from the otherwise inevitable decline towards death.

  • @thomashilsdon I feel there is a clearer association between the speaker and the rain - 'I watch the weary drops of rain / Weave their weary paths and die'... 'I know that I am like the rain', ie. I too am following my weary path towards death, but unlike the drops of rain, I don't get there because of my love for you - 'there but for the grace of you go I'

  • i don't know why i spend my time writing songs i can't believe, with words that tear and strain to rhyme....

  • u know :)

  • Simply one of my all time favorite songs. I'm nearly rendered speechless whenever this song is played. This is pure bliss for me. Thanks so much my friend!!!!

  • @KathyAndJohn1 I am happy you prefered listening to a song like this in stead of the noise that is made today. Wish more 16 years old were like you. Happy birthday. Little bit late but okey :]

  • thhere but for the grace of you go i........... chills, you just get chills
