Grey Days

Dressed in lilac

with a scarf wrapped 'round your head

All that beauty fading in the dark

Hope and youth they with come the grey

Dressed in Jackie

Dress she wore some fall before

Revolutionary for the day

Technicolour made it stay the same

Baby, baby, baby you have to leave this town

Flag in one hand

Polished shoes for perfect march

Eight hours of practice is too long

With no one there to see your victory dance

Like a kitten

You sure adored the sun

Ocean view, the blue called out for you

Swim suit on, what kept you in the grey

Love the city

Yet you stay in that old house

Mother's voice the only noise you know

Doing what she loves the most, not you
