Suzanne Vega - Song In Red And Grey Lyrics
The Reproach In Your Daughter's Most Beautiful FaceMade Me Wonder Just How She Could KnowOf That Something That Happened Between You And MeSo Much More Than A Long Time AgoHer Mother, I Can See, Lives Within Her StillCause She Looked At Me With Her EyesThough I Had Only Just Met Her Right ThenI Feel That She Peeled Back My Guilty DisguiseDid I Break The Thread, Or Did You Break The Thread?Well At This Point We Could Ask Who CaresAs For The Promises Broken And FrayedIt's 19 Years Late For RepairsThe Grey Pewter Vase Held The Deep Red Rose,One Piece Of Coral Shone White,By The Brass Candlestick Near Your Red Velvet Coat,Is Everything I Can Recall Of One NightWill You Please Tell Me Why I Remember These ThingsAfter All Of This Time, I Don't KnowI Must Have Left All Those Feelings InsideCause That Year I Had No Courage To ShowWas I The Name You Could Never Pronounce?Or Did I Even Figure At All?All Of This Happened Before She Was BornDid I Shadow Her Young Pencil Marks On The WallStill I Am Sure I Was Only But OneOf A Number Who Darkened That DoorOf Your Home And Your Hearth And Your Family And WifeWho'd Been Darkened So Often BeforeOh, The Red Leaf Looks To The Hard Gray StoneTo Each Other, They Know What They MeanSomewhere, Their Future Is Still Yet To ComeIn Ways That Are Yet As Of Now Unforeseen
