Various Artists - Touch of Grey lyrics

[Verse 1] Must be getting early Clocks are running late Paint-by-number morning sky Seems so phony The dawn is breaking everywhere You light a candle, curse the glare Draw the curtains I don't care Cause it's all right [Chorus: Instrumental] [Verse 2] I see you've got your list out Say your piece and get out Yes, I get the gist of it But it's all right Oh well, anyway Sorry that you feel that way The only thing there is to say Every silver lining's got a Touch of grey [Chorus] I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive [Verse 3] Oh it's a lesson to me The Ables and the Beggars and the Thieves The ABC's, yeah, we all think of Oh when we try to keep just a little grace [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] I know the rent is in arrears The dog has not been fed in years It's even worse than it appears Cause it's all right The cow is giving kerosene The kid can't read, he's seventeen The words he knows are all obscene The shoe is on the hand that fits There's really nothing much to it Just whistle through your teeth and spit Oh well, a touch of grey It kind of suits you anyway Oh, that's all I really had to say Cause it's all right [Chorus] I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive [Outro] We will get by We will get by We will get by We will survive
