Touch Of Grey

It must be getting early

Clocks are running late

Paint by numbers morning sky

Looks so phony



Dawn is breaking everywhere

Light a candle, curse the glare

Draw the curtains, I don't care

'Cause it's alright



I will get by (x3)

I will survive



I see you got your list out

Say your piece and get out

Yes I got the gist of it

But it's alright



Sorry that you feel that way

The only thing there is to say

Every silver lining's got a

Touch of grey



It's a lesson to me

The Ables and the Bakers and the C's

The A B C's

We all must face

And try to keep a little grace



I know the rent is in arrears

The dog has not been fed in years

It's even worse than it appears

But it's alright



Cows are giving kerosene

The kid can't read at seventeen

The words he knows are all obscene

But it's alright



I will get by (x3)

I will survive



It's a lesson to me

The Deltas and the East and the Freeze

The A B C's

We all think of

And try to keep a little love



The shoe is on the hand it fits

There's really nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and split

'Cause it's alright



I will get by (x3)

I will survive



We will get by (x3)

We will survive
