Touch of Grey

"Touch of Grey"

Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia

Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission

Must be getting early

Clocks are running late

Paint by number morning sky

Looks so phony

Dawn is breaking everywhere

Light a candle, curse the glare

Draw the curtains

I don't care 'cause

It's all right

I will get by / I will get by

I will get by / I will survive

I see you've got your list out

Say your piece and get out

Yes I get the gist of it

but it's all right

Sorry that you feel that way

The only thing there is to say

Every silver lining's got a

Touch of grey

I will get by / I will get by

I will get by / I will survive

It's a lesson to me

The Ables and the Bakers and the C's

The ABC's we all must face

And try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me

The deltas and the east and the freeze

The ABC's we all think of

Try to give a little love.

I know the rent is in arrears

The dog has not been fed in years

It's even worse than it appears

but it's all right.

Cows giving kerosene

Kid can't read at seventeen

The words he knows are all obscene

but it's all right

I will get by / I will get by

I will get by / I will survive

The shoe is on the hand it fits

There's really nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and spit

causeit's all right.

Oh well a Touch Of Grey

Kind of suits you anyway.

That was all I had to say

It's all right.

I will get by / I will get by

I will get by / I will survive

We will get by / We will get by

We will get by / We will survive
