You’re a beautiful lady
Well how are you my friend
I know living in the city
It’s so hard to tell anymore.
I’ve been wondering ‘bout you
Hoping you would stop by
But the grey in your eyes
Is not what I saw there before.
Chorus:
Sing pretty songs for the swallow
Follow him on his flight from the grey
Far, far away.
I guess the grey box has changed you
Made its four walls your own
Now your eyes have turned half in
And you’re living so crowded alone.
Just last Tuesday I stopped by
But you were not in
So I wrapped up a green leaf
And I left it there by your door.
Chorus
Well I heard that you died
I’ve been crying all day
The neighbors and friends came
To look at the space that you made.
I heard one say it was better
That he got you this way
In your blue room at nighttime
They say he was dressed
All in grey
