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
