Shades
of Grey

|
I
was an August baby / Conceived by the Christmas lights / I came
into the world by the setting sun / On a humid summer night / When
my grandmother held me for the very first time / She thanked God
I looked like my daddy / And I never quite knew just what she meant
/ But I knew she was a lit-tle too happy / And now I see You
can't change a stubborn mind / You can't see the world if your eyes
are blind / What does it matter anyway / In our darkest hour we're
all just shades of grey They
got married in a tiny chapel / 1965 / Malcolm X was on the radio
/ When he took her as his wife / And she looked so pretty that September
day / And her older brother cried as he gave her away / And the
minister looked like he didn't know what to say / And then he spoke And
when my grandmother held me / For the very first time / She thanked
God You
can't change a stubborn mind / You can't see the world if your eyes
are blind / What does it matter anyway / In our darkest hour we're
all just shades of grey / In our darkest hour we're all just shades
of grey Darkest
hour we're all just / Shades of grey - Hey, Hey, Hey / It doesn't
matter anyway Don't give a damn / Don't give a damn / Don't give
a damn what they say / We're all just shades of grey / We're all
just shades of grey / Shades of grey From The Official Amanda Marshall Website vocal: Amanda Marshall · guitars: Mark Goldenberg
