lyrics

Newsprint skyline turning yellow with age
Dishwater clouds turning purple with rage
And all I can find to say
Is I feel like the day
Three fast moving shades of gray

Coal balck curls fall over steel blue eyes
Salt white cheeks still say their silent good-byes
And all I can hope and pray
Is that they'll fade away
In three fast moving shades of gray

The wind and snow
The pounding rain
The bitter cold
Won't kill the pain
And it's gonna take time
For the sun to shine
Some place
Where I can feel its rays

There's no good reason and it's no good trying
No use thinking that it's no good crying
Because these blues are here to stay
Till nature ahs its way
With three fasting moving shades of gray
Three fast moving shades of gray
Three fast moving shades of gray
