Amanda Marshall - Shades Of Grey Lyrics
I was an august babyConceived by the christmas lightsI came into the world by the setting sunOn a humid summer nightWhen my grandmother held me for the very first timeShe thanked God I looked likeMy daddyAnd I never quite knew justWhat she meantBut I knew she was a lit-tle too happyAnd now I seeChorusYou cant change a stubborn mindYou cant see the world if your eyes are blindWhat does it matter anywayIn ourDarkest hour were all just shades of greyThey got married in a tiny chapel1965Malcolm x was on the radioWhen he took her as his wifeAnd she looked so pretty that september dayAnd her older brother cried as he gave her awayAnd the minister looked like he didnt know what to sayAnd then he spokeChorusSoloAnd when my grandmother held meFor the very first timeShe thanked godI looked like my daddyAnd I never gave aDamn just what she meantBut I knew she was a little too happyAnd now I seeYou cant change a stubborn mindYou cant see the world if your eyes are blindWhat does it matter anywayIn our darkest hour were all just shades of greyIn our darkest hour were all just shades ofDarkest hour were all justShades of grey - hey, hey, heyIt doesnt matter anyway dont give a damnDont give a damnDont give a damn what they sayWere all just shades of greyWere all just shades of greyShades of grey
