Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead

Must be getting early Clocks are running late Faint light of the morning sky looks so phony Dawn is breaking everywhere Light a candle, curse the glare Draw the curtains, I don't care, cuz It's alright

I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive

I see you've got your fist out Say your piece and get out Yes I get the gist of it, but It's alright Sorry that you feel that way The only there is to say: Every silver lining's got a touch of grey

I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive

It's a lesson to me The eagles and the beggars and the seas The ABC's we all must face Try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me The deltas and the east and the freeze The ABC's we all think of And try to win a little love

I know the rent is in arrears The dog has not been fed in years It's even worse than it appears, but It's alright Cows giving kerosene Kid can't read at seventeen The words he knows are all obscene, but It's alright

I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive

The shoe is on the hand that fits. There's really nothing much to it Whistle through your teeth and spit, cuz It's alright Oh well, a touch of grey Kinda suits you anyway And that was all I had to say, and It's alright

I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive

We will get by We will get by We will get by We will survive

We will get by We will get by We will get by We will survive
