Touch of Grey

Must be getting early
 Clocks are running late
 Paint-by-number morning sky
 Seems so phony
 The dawn is breaking everywhere
 You light a candle, curse the glare
 Draw the curtains, I don't care
 'Cause it's alright
 ♪
 I see you've got your list out
 Say your piece and get out
 Guess I get the gist of it, 'cause it's alright
 Oh, little lady
 Sorry that you feel that way
 Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
 I will get by
 I will get by
 Yeah, I will get by
 I will survive
 ♪
 Oh, it's a lesson to me
 All the Ables and the begards and the thieves
 The ABC's we all think of
 Only try to keep just a little grace
 ♪
 I know the rent is in arrears
 The dog has not been fed in years
 It's even worse than it appears, 'cause it's alright
 The cow is giving kerosene
 The kid can't read at seventeen
 The words he knows are all obscene
 The shoe is on the hand, it fits
 There's really nothing much to it
 Just whistle through your teeth and spit
 Oh, well, a touch of grey it kinda suits you anyway
 And that's all I really had to say 'cause it's alright
 I will get by
 I will get by
 Yeah, I will get by
 I will survive
 We will get by
 Yeah, we will get by
 We will get by
 We will survive
