From the recording Well Spun Lies
Lyrics
SHADES OF GREY
It’s neither black nor white
Neither dull or bright
It lies in the middle
Just between
It’s neither night or day
Just myriad shades of grey
A ghostly image
Barely seen
It’s neither fresh nor tired
Neither loud or quiet
But somewhere so gentle
In between
It neither whispers nor roars
It’s neither keen or bored
Can’t be described as
Dirty or clean
Shades of grey at the first light of dawn
Shades of grey as the night’s drawing on
With shades of grey wrapped around your heart
Love’s just waiting to start
It’s neither love nor hate
Neither gay or straight
It’s a feeling that can go
Or can stay
It’s neither light nor dark
Neither smoke nor spark
But it lies slowly
Smouldering away
Shades of grey at the first light of dawn
Shades of grey as the night’s drawing on
With shades of grey wrapped around your heart
Love’s just waiting to start
With shades of grey wrapped around your heart
Love’s just waiting to start
