Shades of Gray

 

Don't look at me that way,

What could you have to say

On this autumn day

With your shades of gray?

Chorus:

I could go to Nottingham,

Where the sparrow flies by the Wily dam.

All around are space and trees

And the air feels like violent memories.

(Chorus)

Southern Belles are calling me

With there Civil War symphonies;

Muskets in my soul cry out,

What's a civil war all about?

(Chorus)

By the Hudson River, by the Adrian Sea

I see a vague reflection of a poet by a tree.

The seeds that have been planted are my destiny,

A rainbow colored mirror broken inside of me.

(Chorus)
