Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade Of Grey songtekst

Je score:


[Part I]



so where do we begin

and what else can we say?

when the lines are all drawn

what should we do today?



[Part II]



are you listening

am i here screaming?

drowning in a silent sea

or only dreaming?



drifting in and out

his mind never rests

lying in shadows

replaying a thousand regrets



can you hear me

am i getting through?

a million miles away

or here beside you?



drifting in and out

his heart never forgets

lying in shadows

replaying a thousand regrets



and the minutes just pass

as the hours change

and the shifting sands

slowly rearrange



drifting in and out

his mind never rests

lying in shadows

replaying a thousand regrets



[Part III]



there's a cloud above us

and there's a shadow on us

and outside of us

hangs this shade of gray



rain falling

hours crawling

all around this shade of gray



there's a chill about us

and there's a sadness with us

and deep within us

lies this shade of gray



rain falling

hours crawling

all around this shade of gray

this shade of gray

"rain's falling, hours crawling"

this shade of gray

"rain's falling, hours crawling"



there's a space beside us

and there's miles between us

and all around us

grows this shade of gray



rain falling

hours crawling

all around this shade of gray



rain falling

hours crawling

all around this shade of gray

this shade of gray

"rain's falling, hours crawling"

this shade of gray

"rain's falling, hours crawling"



[Part IV]



listen

only us breathing

and the rain keeping time

dividing the silence

in a distant thunder



listen

only hearts beating

and the rain keeping time

measuring out the minutes

and taking us under



[Part V]



murdered in munich

crucified in rome

was killing time

on the long road home



let nothing bleed into nothing

and did nothing

let nothing bleed into nothing

and did nothing at all



withered in winter

wished away the night

was out of mind

while out of sight



let nothing bleed into nothing

and did nothing

let nothing bleed into nothing

and did nothing at all



let nothing bleed into nothing

and did nothing

let nothing bleed into nothing

and did nothing at all



watched the days just pass

as the seasons changed

and the shifting sands

slowly rearranged



but i will not eulogize

i won't apologize

i will not defend

anymore, anymore

i will not dramatize

i won't soliloquize

i will not pretend

anymore, anymore



[Part VI]



i know that i don't know you

and you couldn't know me

but time and space collided

and here we are, here we are



i know that you don't understand

and i can't explain

but circumstance conspired

and here we are, here we are



"the time is four nineteen..."

"time flies..."

"???"

"the answer is no..."



and i know we can't turn back all the years

time reflected in a shade of gray

but i often wonder what could have been

and i still hold on to yesterday



and i know we're not children any more

innocence lost in a sea of gray

but i often wonder what else could be

and i still dream of running away



so where do we begin

and what else can we say?

when the lines are all drawn

what should we do today?



[Part VII]



stare from the darkness

hear the silence call?

devise divisions, delay decisions,

watch the hours crawl and...



let nothing bleed into nothing

and do nothing?

let nothing bleed into nothing

and do nothing at all?



recite soliloquies

to shadows on the wall?

revise revisions, reverse decisions

watch our heros fall and...



let nothing bleed into nothing

and do nothing?

let nothing bleed into nothing

and do nothing at all?



"i want you to do me a favor..."

"i want you to get a gun...and just shoot me! shoot me!"



let nothing bleed into nothing

and do nothing?

let nothing bleed into nothing

and do nothing at all?



let nothing bleed into nothing

and do nothing?

let nothing bleed into nothing

and do nothing at all?



[Part VIII]



[Instrumental]



[Part IX]



stayed up late last night

lying here in bed

looking for words

to say the things i left unsaid

wind at my window

whispers to me instead

and i lie alone

writing letters in my head



where you are, i am

through nights that never end

where you are, i am

in words i'll never send



walked alone last night

cold streets of could be anywhere

looking for words

to share the thoughts i could not share

road at my heels

takes me away instead

and i walk alone

writing letters in my head



where you are, i am

through streets that never end

where you are, i am

in words i'll never send



where you are, i am

through nights that never end

where you are, i am

in words i'll never send

never, never send



stayed up late last night

lying here in bed

still looking for words

still writing letters in my head



[Part X]



[Instrumental]



[Part XI]



do you think that i, that i remember

do you think that i, that i recall

when you were falling

and i just watched it all?



do you think that i, that i remember

do you think that i, that i recall

when you were breaking

and i just let the pieces fall?



don't you think that i remember

don't you think that i recall

when you were alone, oh all alone

and i didn't hear, hear your call?

call... hear your call, hear your call, hear your call...



[Part XII]



this shade of gray

this certain sadness

this cold morning light

and this silent madness

it hangs in the air

it hangs like a memory

it hangs like a cloud

it hangs on desperately

between dark and light

between was and be

between young and old

between you and me

between you and me



i remember cities

and i remember rain

like the sound of your voice, falling

these memories and more remain

i remember winter

and i remember strain

like the sound of your voice, breaking

these memories and more remain

i remember the nights

and i remember pain

like the sound of your voice, alone

these memories and more remain



so where do we begin

and what else can we say?

when the lines are all drawn

what should we do today?



close our eyes awhile

as morning shadows play

and listen to the rain

wash the long night away

face to face we'll awake

to see another day

and with hope in our hearts

embrace this shade of gray

this pleasant shade of gray
