GRAY EVENING BLUE



















GRAY EVENING BLUE

ALL INSTRUMENTS/VOCALS BY WM.BATES

It’s the gray of the evening, the tail end of a dusty day
It’s the gray of the evening, the tail end of a dusty day
A storm is raging, I wish it would carry me away

I wish I had a dollar for every mistake I’ve made
I wish I had a dollar for every mistake I’ve made
I’d surely be a rich man, sleepin’ in the summer shade

I’m just like Absalom, my hair caught on the tree
I’m just like Absalom, my hair caught on the tree
I keep on a-swingin’ in the hellish breeze

Please pardon me sister, I’m feelin’ sorry for myself
Please pardon me sister, I’m feelin’ sorry for myself
But that’s alright, I’m just like everybody else

INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE

It’s the gray of the evening, the tail end of a dusty day
It’s the gray of the evening, the tail end of a dusty day
A storm is raging, I wish it would carry me away
