The Holy Grail is a tune I wrote about searching for the present moment and finding love in life. In contrast to that, it's about the distractions of the material world and how it keeps us away form this fundamental love.

lyrics
I put on plenty of doubt,
in fact I brought enough to go all around.
Once it gets you there's no turning back,
it's far too comfortable to be scared and relaxed.
And the trouble goes on and on.
it's always doing what it wants,
The people want love, but the King said, "no,
I highly doubt you'll find my holy grail".
He found a way to keep the poor from love;
in search of something.
Still today I can't find love, it leaves me when I need it most.
Get that ghost out of my house.
I put in plenty of my time.
All of my friends, they think I lost my mind.
Once it's got you there's no turning back,
what you're after is what you already have.
And the trouble goes on and on,
it's always doing what it wants.
The people want love, but the King said, "no,
I highly doubt you'll find my holy grail".
He found a way to keep the poor from love;
in search of something.
Still today I can't find love, it leaves me when I need it most.
Get that ghost out of my house.
Oh, I'm getting closer to the start
Oh, I'm getting closer to the start
And the trouble goes on and on,
it's always doing what it wants.
The people want love, but the King said, "no,
I highly doubt you'll find my holy grail".
He found a way to keep the poor from love;
in search of something.
Still today I can't find love, it leaves me when I need it most.
Get that ghost out of my house.
