The morning shines on windowpanes Your eyes are sore and full of pain The wind is cold with blades of rain I think of you in shades of grey For dark is night and light is day I see my world in shades of grey For I am a poor boy I think you'll find A will o'wisp a might have been What I can't take I leave behind I see my world I am not blind For dark is night and light is day I see no world in shades of grey So I'll take my leave and fare thee well The streets are bare the lamps are dim And where I'm goin' I cannot tell I see no world in shades of grey For dark is night and light is day I see no world in shades of grey I see no world in shades of grey
