Secretely she hides beneath the makeup on her skin
Her dark painted eyes just a trick taught by her friend
The hair across her face, it just might get in the way
Conveniently it's placed in a style that makes it stay
I think she's getting close to loving again
I think she's getting close to finding reasons to live
When the light hits the pavement it's a lonely shade of grey
When the light hits my eyes it's a lonely shade of grey
I had let her go when we were still quite a pair
She left in the morning when I woke she wasn't there
And now we're just two drifters on the far end of the fair
Looking for ourselves and trying to get the other back
I think we're getting close to loving again
I think we're getting close to finding reasons to live
When the light hits the pavement it's a lonely shade of grey
When the light hits my eyes it's a lonely shade of grey
I am off to find the place that she has gone
But I have been so lost I forget from where I've have come
So if you see her around could you tell her that I said:
I never should have left and now I'm tangled in regret
I think I'm getting close to loving again
I think I'm getting close to finding reasons to live
When the light hits the pavement it's a lonely shade of grey
When the light hits my eyes it's a lonely shade of grey
