So she took you and let you smell her
So she took you and showed you danger
So she let you take her hand and
Climb up her little finger
So she took your seed and grew a boy
Nothing is black
And nothing is white
There's just different shades of grey
What's lovely can lie
And what's true can die
You know you have to let her fade
So she loved your art and devotion
And she fed your mother with cake
And she loved you for loving her footprints
That's why she loved you for loving her footprints
And she loved to leave you when life was at stake
Nothing is black
And nothing is white
There's just different shades of grey
What's lovely can lie
And what's true can die
You know you have to let her fade
Like a priest she gave you her blessing
For not supporting the secrets she kept
Beneath her shirt and the layers of lovers
She'd stand up tall and not ask for the covers
Just the perfect timing and reason to keep you around...
Nothing is black
And nothing is white
There's just different shades of grey
What's lovely can lie
And what's true can die
You know you have to let her fade, fade, fade, fade
Fade away
