Greyest

When the sunset disappears

And the night's on overflow

When the greyest sky is looming

And you're in the undertow

When the ugly truth is rising

That there is no aftershow

When the smiling face starts grinning

With its skin in purest tones

All the ways

It was brighter yesterday

I don't see a horizon

When the desperate wolf is howling

And the outside's feeling cold

When the brightest eye stops shining

And you see the fire go

When the closest star is fading

And the whole system implodes

When the biggest man starts crying

And his honesty unfolds

All the ways

It was brighter yesterday

I don't see a horizon

Yes he was

A friend of mine

Sunshine through the curtain

To the bottle to the powder

You are on the filthy carpet

Yes he was

A friend of mine

I took him by

The hand the eye

But I saw no horizon

I saw no horizon

I saw blackbirds

On that strange night

Off you go

And take your flight

Against the sky

Out to the night

My blackbird my old friend

Off to your horizon
