In the Grey

I'm in the middle
of night and day
one foot in
one foot out
of my grave

I'm in the middle
of thunder and
miles of rain
where all the color
is washed away

You'll find me
in the grey
Colorblind
and that's okay

The clock
has her hands
filled with time
too busy to
pay any mind

My roots have
turned to stone
from my head
I grew a throne
to sit and wait

Weathered and dry
when it's time to die
keeping my cool
where all the color
is washed away

You'll find me
in the grey
Writing you notes
and that's okay

I'll write you waves of words
that will inspire your mind
I'll write to you about your voice
that I hope you'll find

I'll write you sheets of music
that I hope you'll make
Please play them for me
at my grave to keep me awake

I'll write you about the beyond
What a beautiful Swan Song
nothing but harmony

In the grey

Author's Note
This came from believe it or not watching an
episode of Emily in Paris on Netflix. LOL
She was working on a product to market grey hair.
Went with it and this is what I came up with.
I haven't written a song in a while
so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Plus, I'm turning half a century next year! Yikes
But in all honesty, I feel like I'm in my twenties:)

Wrote while listening to Metric - suckers
