FADE TO GREY - The Wanderer

(Ruth McCartney Music, BMI 2015-2023)

Martin Nethercutt Music and Lyrics

1 Verse

The streets are silent here tonight

Dark rain is falling down from way up high

I’m slowly walking down this road

I’m tired and all alone

And no one’s there to help me with this load

1 Bridge

When I open my eyes

All I see is pain

A blurry sight of agony

Hiding with disdain

But I remember

1 Chorus

Just with a little luck

I hope we won’t fade to grey

Some will say

Tomorrow no sorrow

Live your life in the moment today

Just give a little love

Before we all just fade away

Come what may

Whatever, whenever, 

never turn your back 

on the ones you love

2 Verse

I realize now, that I’ve gone too far

Projecting my dreams on a distant star

The space between these walls is growing fast

I have to return to emotions I know, familiar friends

Familiar foes

Destiny is written in the past

2 Bridge

When I open my eyes

All I see is pain

A blurry sight of agony

Hiding with disdain

But I remember

2 Chorus

Just with a little luck

I hope we don’t fade to grey

Some will say

Tomorrow no sorrow

Live your life in the moment today

We only get this one

So please don’t let it fade away

Come what may

Whatever, whenever, 

never turn your back 

on the ones you love

C-PART

Never fade to Grey

Never fade to Grey

3 Chorus

Just with a little luck

I hope we all don’t fade to grey

Some will say

Tomorrow no sorrow

Live your life in the moment today

Just give a little love

Before we all just fade away

Come what may

Whatever, whenever, 

never turn your back 

on the ones you love
