Grey

Grey
The slush was bearable
I'd only seen a sky like that
Once in a memory
But I couldn't touch it
Or be clear about
And I wound around the coast
Almost with nothing to say

Grey, today
In the mirror
In the mirror
No one, no one
There

Grey, today
Watch my fingers
Hear my footsteps
Fading, fading

My face fading from sight
The picture comes clear of the night
A fever too hot to control
Doctor's word was
"Put him in the cold"
So, you drew the bath
And put me in the water to my face
My skin numbing I looked to you
Praying for your son to get through

In the mirror
In the mirror
No one, no one

Grey
