This song was inspired by a far too well dressed woman in a hat handing out flyers in the rain, not that you can tell. The older I get, the less black and white the world seems to become. Edric brings a dignity and subtlety to the otherwise bombastic proceedings.
lyrics
After the dark of the night time
Before the colours of the day
In the glow of the morning's half-light
When all the worlds a shade of gray
Though the seasons change, the world
Before the sun is lit in gray
Black print stamped onto a white page
The words that you would write in stone
Those rights will run gray in the pouring rain
It doesn't rain on the unjust alone
You can't paint the world as black and white
With your words blurring all the time
I think there's more that lies in between
I won't sign your dotted line
I am sorry, truly sorry
That its not just yes or no
There's nothing here that is so simple
Even though you think I am so dull
No one casts a pitch black shadow
Our basest shade's a gray
I cannot love with all my heart
My passions only gray
So you can think that you are so bold
And you can think I am so cold
But without colour, photographs
Show all people in their grey scale
