The Grey

They say there's places where the
Winter never comes
You wear your bathing suit
And sip your coke and rum
And troubles melt away
Beneath the endless sun
The people smile, the songbirds sing

Well I heard the stories and I
Knew I had to go
I bought my ticket on the ship for Kokomo
I sought the sun and wandered off for parts unknown
But it was never meant for me

Mmm I've seen the sunrise
Shining off the sea
I watched the waves along the beaches
And the tall palm trees, I've seen
Paradise and hungered for the rain
The warmth of you beside me
On a cloudy day
In the clear, cold air
And the grey
Mmmmm

And when I traveled many thousand miles
I got my tan and sang the songs of Bali Hai
Well my lonesome heart was calling for those city lights
Shining off the winter snow
Whoa, I've seen the sunrise
Shining off the sea
I watched the waves along the beaches
And the tall palm trees, I've seen
Paradise and hungered for the rain
The warmth of you beside me
On a cloudy day
In the clear, cold air

So let the snow fall down
Let the cold winds blow
I will keep you warm
Just hold me close
Let the sunlight fade
Promise me you'll stay
Right here beside me in the
Clear, cold air
And the grey
Mmmmm
