One Grey Morning

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