Blue And Grey

Poco · Blue And Grey [1981]

There were flags flyin' high

Bright polished brass that dazzled the eye

The hot crowded street is covered by feet

Kicking dust on the sky

She's standing there, the sun in her hair

She's wavin' to me

We're heroes today, I heard someone say

Tonight home's where we'd be



The word comes down, the column winds its way from town

Goodbye sweet Anna Lee my love



Baby, baby now something ain't right

Clouds of thunder roll into sight

Overhead there's a mighty light, baby

Baby now something ain't right



The smoke hangs heavy on the ground, hiding the sun

The burning sky is on the run



Baby, baby now something ain't right

There's a pain burning deep inside

And my legs just can't hold their stride

Baby, baby now something ain't right



There were flags flyin' high, bright polished brass that

Dazzled the eye

She's standin' there, the sun in her hair, she's wavin' to me

Oh, she's wavin' to me, oh, she's wavin' to me
