In the dark night
I feel the weight
Of the stories left untold
The tears I can't abate
Melancholy clouds
They fill my mind
As I try to find some solace in the rhyme
On the old porch
Where we used to dream
I search for answers
But they're nowhere to be seen
The shadows dance
Like ghosts from the past
Whispering tales of love that couldn't last
Oh
These shades of gray
They haunt me deep
Holding on to memories
I just can't keep
But I'll keep on singing
Till the pain goes away
In this sad
Melancholy shade of gray
