Shades of Grey

Mountain tops and red, red clouds
 Aflame with flaring gold
 Silhouetted against the eastern sky like a God
 The trees now blue under the dusk
 The cooling flood of evening shade
 The lights recede, the sounds subdue
 Predators emerge from their caves
 
 Grayness holds my mind at stake
 And the lake's golden mirror's dim
 The last rays fall into darker shade
 The night coils around the day
 Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray
 The sun bades the world farewell
 ♪
 The queen of the night her attire aglow
 Before her beauty I, too bow
 These nights I should fear
 These lights I should not follow
 This road to nowhere leads
 I wander around in circles
 Grayness holds my mind at stake
 And the lake's golden mirror's dim
 The last rays fall into darker shade
 The night coils around the day
 Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray
 The sun bades the world farewell
 ♪
 The lights recede, the sounds subdue
 Predators emerge from their caves
 ♪
 Grayness holds my mind at stake
 And the lake's golden mirror's dim
 The last rays fall into darker shade
 The night coils around the day
 Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray
 The sun bades the world farewell
 It controls my mind
 And the lake's golden mirror's dim
 The last rays fall into darker shade
 The night chokes the day
 Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray
 The sun bades the world farewell
