One Grey Morning

You can count on many things to let you down You can take you plans And stick 'em six feet underground Wouldn't your time be better spent on days to come? Not the ones that went And left you on a doorstep one grey morning But there's a rumour and everybody's so convinced But you don't believe Your eyes have seen no evidence Of any good left in this town Of any need to be hanging around But you'll leave the sun behind you one grey morning One grey morning One of many grey mornings Always turning up without warning One grey morning One of many dream orphans Always turning up on your doorstep You follow up on all the leads that lead nowhere Trying to recognize The need inside that led you there You'll either listen to your heart Or go drown it out in a noisy bar 'Til you're overcome by the silence one grey morning One grey morning One of many grey mornings Always turning up without warning One grey morning One of many dream orphans Always turning up on your doorstep One grey morning Like today Wouldn't your time be better spent on days to come? Not the ones that went And left you on a doorstep one grey morning One grey morning One of many dream orphans Always turning up on your doorstep One grey morning Like today
