Lyrics

Shades of Grey
Words and Music by Bernie Sims

The coat she’s thrown upon the chair
leaves very little doubt.
Her anger’s like a wildfire –
And facts from him won’t put it out.

Best to let her settle down,
In time she’ll be alright.
A passing storm leaves calmer seas.
Riding it out will work tonight.

He wants to tell her –
The best of love brings rainbows out.
Give it time and understanding and
expect all those shades of grey - along the way.

The dogs been cryin’ for her walk.
It’s dinner hour again.
She summons up the energy to feed the family and their friend.
Her weary man
All she wants is a thankful word –
To help her day end happily.

She wants to tell him –
The best of love brings rainbows out.
Give it time and understanding and
expect all those shades of grey - along the way.

The voices in our heads -
Our own thoughts we pretend.
Imagine how we’d shine -
If we could share what’s on our mind. Oh – oh..

The coat she’s thrown across the chair
Leaves very little doubt.
He’d like to let her know his take,
But again, he’ll sit it out.
He wonders the advantages –
Of always holding back.
Knowin’ full well she does it too.
All those shades of white and black.

She wants to tell him –
The best of love brings rainbows out.
Give it time and understanding and
expect all those shades of grey - along the way.

He wants to tell her –
The best of love brings rainbows out.
Give it time and understanding and
expect all those shades of grey - along the way.
