Touch Of Grey (Single Version) - Grateful Dead

Must be getting early Clocks are running late Paint-by-number morning sky Seems so phony The dawn is breaking everywhere You light a candle, curse the glare Draw the curtains, I don't care 'Cause it's alright I see you've got your list out Say your piece and get out Guess I get the gist of it, 'cause it's alright Oh, little lady Sorry that you feel that way Every silver lining's got a touch of grey I will get by I will get by Yeah, I will get by I will survive Oh, it's a lesson to me All the Ables and the begards and the thieves The ABC's we all think of Only try to keep just 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, 'cause it's alright The cow is giving kerosene The kid can't read at seventeen The words he knows are all obscene The shoe is on the hand, it fits There's really nothing much to it Just whistle through your teeth and spit Oh, well, a touch of grey it kinda suits you anyway And that's all I really had to say 'cause it's alright I will get by I will get by Yeah, I will get by I will survive We will get by Yeah, we will get by We will get by We will survive

You and I were different I don't know how it worked I was quite outspoken And you were more reserve I wanted to be famous You wanted to be a nurse I was always selfish When you put other first But somehow you and I we kinda fit just right Like two art pieces in this puzzle called life When I wore black you dressed white It's easing off to realize Sometimes we find love in a place You wouldn't looking at I know that we are not the same But please don't ever change a single part of you Now we are both getting older I guess we ain't the same Thinking about some children to carry on our name I hope they take your wisdom I hope they get your brain They can have my Sturboness As long as they have your grace Somehow you and I we kinda fit just right Like two art pieces in this puzzle called life When I wore black you dressed white It's easing off to realize Sometimes we find love in a place You wouldn't lookig at I know that we are not the same But please don't ever change a single part of you I never told you I knew from the start I'm gonna love you till death do us path And I love the kindness shape of your heart I can't believe how perfect you are Sometimes we find love in a place You ain't looking at I know that we are not the same But please don't ever change a single part of you

She came without a farthing A babe without a name So much ado about nothing Is what she'd try to say So much ado, my lover So many games we played Through every fleeted Summer Through every precious day All dead, all dead All the dreams we had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone, I'm spared My sweeter half instead All dead and gone All dead All dead, all dead At the rainbow's end And still, I hear her own sweet song All dead, all dead Take me back again You know my little friend's All dead and gone Her ways are always with me I wander all the while But, please, you must forgive me I am old but still a child All dead, all dead But I should not grieve In time it comes to everyone All dead, all dead But in hope, I breathe Of course, I don't believe You're dead and gone All dead and gone
