this shade of gray this certain sadness this cold morning light and this silent madness it hangs in the air it hangs like a memory it hangs like a cloud it hangs on desperately between dark and light between was and be between young and old between you and me between you and me
i remember cities and i remember rain like the sound of your voice, falling these memories and more remain i remember winter and i remember strain like the sound of your voice, breaking these memories and more remain i remember the nights and i remember pain like the sound of your voice, alone these memories and more remain
so where do we begin and what else can we say? when the lines are all drawn what should we do today?
close our eyes awhile as morning shadows play and listen to the rain wash the long night away face to face we'll awake to see another day and with hope in our hearts embrace this shade of gray this pleasant shade of gray
