The sky’s a shade of lost gray and maybe lurid blue someday Something sweet, so tell me what I want to hear Leaving me to question whether I should stay or swim away Or live life in this wonderful sweet gray The times I actually don’t stare lowly at my feet or the cracks Slender gray cheeks of astronauts tilt and question the same sea that cradles me And different shades, some warm, some cool And different ways of leaving and watching those who have left be dead It's not quite appropriate to be living that way, in a sea that isn’t quite gray The worst and greatest blessing is to never know Something sweet, so tell me what I want to hear Or leave me wondering if I should stay or swim away Or live life in this wonderful sweet gray
