Touch of Grey

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
