Shades Of Grey

Symphony X

Seasons changing now - summer's come

and I'll be on my own

just bear another day



I have wondered - if I can turn back hands of time

I'll try, just try another way



I don't know why my heart keeps calling,

but I really don't want you to stay

I have my reasons to keep from falling

then cast me into shades of gray



Life's an endless stage - wisdom comes with age,

can't you see what mindless games we play



(So the end)

So the end is near - captured by the spirit in the wind

you keep calling out to me



I'll find my way

I'll wee it through



I don't know why my heart keeps calling,

but I really don't want you to stay

I have my reasons to keep from falling

then cast me into shades of gray



[Solo]



When the curtain falls - I'll hold my head up high

and curse you all

such vicious games we play



I don't know why my heart keeps calling,

but I really don't want you to stay

I have my reasons to keep from falling

then cast me into shades of gray



I don't know why my heart keeps calling,

but I really don't want you to stay

I have my reasons to keep from falling

then cast me into shades of gray
