When Colors Turn Grey

Little by little
as you walk away into your future
so turns a hot, summer day
into a cool fall night
Oh, all alone!
and all the colors turn grey
Tell me the lies
I always liked to hear
How success would arrive
How our love will prevail
day after night after day and a night
my emptiness bears your face, and
I'll have a shot 'fore I go home
to wipe my mental screen clean
Sun, clouds or rain
are all the same thing to me
just play me the song
I always loved to hear
and feel the sadness arise
as intoxicating beauty
we smiled everywhere
all day long
forever
together
but you love you lose you move on
Thinning out the ghost of you
'til nothing is left but a light mist
