Gray Song
Gray Song
Words and music by Stuart Reedy
Lost on lonely solitaire Confined for bein’ free And now I’ve sentence me to die For things that cannot be Lookin’ out the window at The kids that fill the streets Creatin’ island in the filth Don’t leave much time to eat But that’s O.K. They’re not serving, anyway Mother, please just let us stay Can’t you see, we’d rather play? The news is filled with politics The man says, “it will rain” And he says that Christ came yesterday And took away the pain But I don’t believe a word he says ‘Cause my heart’s filled with hurt And no clouds line the sky-blue sky Reflected in the dirt But that’s alright I wasn’t going out tonight Now every day seems like a fight For things that I believe are right I’ve spent so long away from you My tears have all run dry And things that used to make us laugh Just make me want to cry But now I’m grown and childhood dreams Should seem, to me, absurd But I still pray they’ll all come true Despite the things I’ve heard It’s not O.K. I don’t want to be away I would have been home yesterday But can’t you see, they make me stay? |
