Color Me Grey Lyrics

Indigo Girls Color Me Grey

"Color Me Grey" is an Amy Ray song, from "Color Me Grey."  Go figure.
Color Me Grey.
Her life is a show
One act follows the other everywhere she goes
She takes the leading role
She never plays herself, save for the time she's on the stage
Color her black or white
Now, either one reflects the teardrops
One extreme for the other
Nothing in between
Color her white for the princess she could be
Color her black for the troubled child she plays so well
Well, she's dancing through hell on a dream.
And blue is soul of the one
Reaching for the man that she hasn't got yet
And holding on to those hearts for lost causes
She could be so bright
But she's reaching for us all
Color her blue for the loneliness she feels
She's hiding her heart in the sky.
And this is a Thursday afternoon
It's just another Thursday afternoon
It's just another Thursday afternoon
Color me grey
I'm a little bit of everything today
And I'm not sure where I'm going
Color me grey
Wishing I was something more of distinction.
Color us all 'cause we're just stars
Wishing our lives away
Into the distance
And out of existence.
Color her black or white
Color her blue
Or color me grey
Color us all - we're stars
Wishing our lives away
Now we're stars.
