Shades of Grey

Andersson/Black

Where do you go

With your dreams lying bloody

By the side of the road

You thought you had it made

Sometimes I think the sun just rises to fade.

What’s that you say

While they’re wheeling away

All the plans that you made

You’ve seen all this before

So many ask for less I see you begging for more.

Shades of grey

You’ve given up so much or had it taken away

Shades of grey

I see you turn around and stop, and just fade away.

Being cool as you can

Til the door slams open

And you know you’ve been had

What’s left for you to prove

They’ve stolen away all that’s been linked to you.

Don’t give it up

You know you never realize 

All the love that you’ve got

Don’t give it all away

Sometimes you can’t know what’s real 

Until it starts to decay.

Let’s live it up

Let’s go walking in the rain

Until it starts to stop

And build it up again

It seems we lose so much 

That we forget how to win.
