Like most of the other songs on Motor Cycle, “Grace Is the Smell of Rain” is heavily inspired by Frederick Buechner’s The Alphabet of Grace. The title of the song does not directly appear in the book, but Buechner does talk about rain as an avenue of grace in the second section:

Grace Is The Smell Of Rain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The cauliflower ears
The crocodile tears
The hearts too hard for breaking
We hobble down to your undertow
[Chorus 1]
The lunatic fringe by the quackery
Miracle sludge from the factory
Come to trouble the water
Angels and otters
Psychosomatics cleaning their attics
They learn grace is the smell of rain
[Verse 2]
Pride that stiffs the neck
Healed by graceless genuflect
Heaven and earth embracing
Like lovers under the mistletoe
[Chorus 2]
These low of lows, dregs of the earth
Malcontents when the last are first
Come to trouble the water
Mothers and fathers
Immersing their babies, they pluck them from Hades
Where grace is the smell of rain
[Bridge]
There's old sleep in our eyes
And deep thorns in our sides
But old dogs learn new tricks
When the rain is falling
By the bottomless lagoon
A drunkard's dancing in the moonlight
[Verse 1]
The cauliflower ears
(The dregs of the earth making their way)
The crocodile tears
The hearts too hard for breaking
(A drunkard's dance under the moonlight)
We hobble down to your undertow
[Chorus 1]
The lunatic fringe by the quackery
Miracle sludge from the factory
Come to trouble the water
Angels and otters
Psychosomatics cleaning their attics
They learn grace is the smell of rain
Grace is the smell of rain
Grace is the smell of rain
Grace is the smell of
