The Sound of Grey

 

~ The Sound of Grey ~

 

There's a place where the moon shines grey

where silence sings and emptiness rings

a haunting place for haunted hearts

seeking refuge from their own disarray

 

Cry baby cry

cry for a shadow disguised as hope

cry as edges blur on a downward slope

cry when dreams falter and you cannot cope

cry baby cry

but there'll be no reply

 

Between black and white, intent loses its way

words curl up and drift away

their meaning lost when no one stays

and she circles back around to yesterday

 

Yesterday, yesteryear - when did it start?

she carries the weight of the devil in her heart

insecurities bleed through wounds that won't heal

as he strengthens his hold, truth become surreal

 

Cry baby cry

cry for a memory you once held dear

cry for a time when you loved without fear

cry for a way to be reassured

cry baby cry

but there'll be no reply.
