Touch of Grey

It must be getting early

Clocks are running late

Paint by number, 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

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

I see you've got your list out

Say your piece and get out

Guess I get the jist of it

But, it's alright

Sorry that you feel that way

The only thing there is to say

Every silver linings got a

Touch of grey

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

It's a lesson to me

The Ables and the Bakers and the C's

The ABC's we all must face

Try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me

The Deltas and the East and the Freeze

The ABC's we all think of

And try to wean a little love

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

Cow is giving kerosene

Kid can't read at seventeen

The words he knows are all obscene

But, it's alright

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

The shoe is on the hand that fits

There's a really nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and spit

'Cause, it's alright

Oh, well, a touch of grey

Kinda suits you anyway

And that was all I had to say

It's alright

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

We will get by

We will get by

We will get by

We will survive

We will get by

We will get by

We will get by
