And she listens to “I love you”
And continues with her hair
Doing all she does not think of
To convince him he’s not there
And she would lock the gates to heaven
If she could only find the stairs
Oh, in the coldest grey
You can fade away
And the waves will keep on pounding
‘cause her only love’s in dreams
She can hear the angels singing
But she thinks she hears them scream
And while she can’t hear me callin’
Did you know I can hear her breath?
Oh, in the coldest grey
You can fade away
There, in the nearest clearing a small child sits
In the imperfect balance that time resists
(not unaware a miracle’s too near)
And the daughters of her mirror
And the nephews of Herniece
Are amazed to see her standing
In the hallway in her sleep
And she blames her new prescription
Though she’s trying to decrease
Oh, in the coldest grey
You can fade away
And so she listens to “I love you”
But cannot repeat the sound
She had tried one icy evening
But nothing would come out
So the walls keep getting higher
And may never tumble down
Oh, in the coldest grey
You can fade away
And continues with her hair
Doing all she does not think of
To convince him he’s not there
And she would lock the gates to heaven
If she could only find the stairs
Oh, in the coldest grey
You can fade away
And the waves will keep on pounding
‘cause her only love’s in dreams
She can hear the angels singing
But she thinks she hears them scream
And while she can’t hear me callin’
Did you know I can hear her breath?
Oh, in the coldest grey
You can fade away
There, in the nearest clearing a small child sits
In the imperfect balance that time resists
(not unaware a miracle’s too near)
And the daughters of her mirror
And the nephews of Herniece
Are amazed to see her standing
In the hallway in her sleep
And she blames her new prescription
Though she’s trying to decrease
Oh, in the coldest grey
You can fade away
And so she listens to “I love you”
But cannot repeat the sound
She had tried one icy evening
But nothing would come out
So the walls keep getting higher
And may never tumble down
Oh, in the coldest grey
You can fade away
