I lost a friend today of many ages old A great comfort to us all Throughout our youthful years Gave us guidance, taught us truth Gave us treasures from so deep Look at the ‘way’ we have repaid her
And she cries And she cries - she cries to me Tears of sadness - tears of pain And she cries - she cries to me Tears they fall so desperately
I see it with my eyes Colors changing day by day It’s not fiction slipping Slowly fades away
[Chorus:] Shades of grey Fade to black Darkness surrounds me Shades of grey Fade to black Darkness engulfs me
I lost a friend today of many ages old A great comfort to us all Throughout our youthful years We’ve shown no guidance We’ve shown no truth Lost all treasures from so deep Look at the ‘way’ we have repaid her
[Chorus]
And she cries And she cries - she cries to me Tears of sadness - tears of pain And she cries - she cries to me Tears they fall so desperately
