Shades of Grey — текст песни (Eagle Eye Cherry)

If you start here late no one will know what you did

No the streets are straight its the soul thats crooked

Ive been treated fine Ive been treated elegantly

But Im not one for bathing in the waters of plenty



East is east west is west

And bowery is screaming while delancey rests

Well Im south of the skating but Im north of the cash

I could sure use the money but Im ashamed to ask



The traffic has buried all of last nights rain

The words are all different but the accent is the same



The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between



Theres at least ten different strains of smoke in the air

And my prints are on them all to prove I was there

And I love the curses but Im not one for the trenches

And I do love the walking but thank God for the benches



Its hard to tell where green begins and the city gray stops

I guess the trees all bought their armor at second hand shops

My second had is working but the minute hand is broke again

I know time will pass but I dont know when



The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between

And there are no shades of gray in between



I know the great ones have been here but where I cant tell

Theres dreams here a plenty but theyre being withheld

And Im more impressed with the closed doors than the ones that are open

The whole place tells time by a tower clock thats broken



The pigeons are ravens and the gulls are vultures

And trash is art and cash is culture



The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between

There are no shades of gray in between

There are no shades of gray in between
