Grateful Dead Touch Of Grey
Must be getting early, clocks are running late
Faint light of the mornin' sky, looks so phony
Dawn is breakin' everywhere light a candle curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care 'cuz it's alright
I will get by, I will get by
I will get by, I will survive
I see, you've got your fist out, say your piece and get out
Yes I get the gist of it but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way, the only there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
I will get by, I will get by
I will get by, I will survive
It's a lesson to me, the eagles and the beggars and the seas
The ABC's, we all must face try to keep a little grace
It's a lesson to me, the deltas and the east and the freeze
The ABC's, we all think of and try to win a little love
I know the rent is in arrears the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears but it's alright
Cows givin' kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by
I will get by, I will survive
The shoe is on the hand that fits, there's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cuz it's alright
Oh well a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway
And that was all I had to say and it's alright
I will get by, I will get by
I will get by, I will survive
We will get by, we will get by
We will get by, we will survive
We will get by, we will get by
We will get by, we will survive
