Shades Of Grey Lyrics - Tuesday's Child - Amanda Marshall

I was an August baby, conceived by the Christmas lights 

I came into the world by the setting sun 

On a humid summer night 

When my grandmother held me for the very first time 

She thanked God, I looked like my daddy 

And I never quite knew just what she meant 

But I knew she was a little too happy 

And now I see 

You can't change a stubborn mind 

You can't see the world if your eyes are blind 

What does it matter anyway? 

In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey 

They got married in a tiny chapel, 1965 

Malcolm X was on the radio 

When he took her as his wife 

And she looked so pretty that September day 

And her older brother cried as he gave her away 

And the minister looked like 

He didn't know what to say 

And then he spoke 

You can't change a stubborn mind 

You can't see the world if your eyes are blind 

What does it matter anyway? 

In our darkest hour, we're all just shades of grey 

And when my grandmother held me for the very first time 

She thanked God, I looked like my daddy 

And I never gave a damn just what she meant 

But I knew she was a little too happy 

And now I see 

You can't change a stubborn mind 

You can't see the world if your eyes are blind 

What does it matter anyway? 

In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey 

In our darkest hour we're all just shades of 

Darkest hour we're all just shades of grey 

It doesn't matter anyway 

Don't give a damn, don't give a damn 

Don't give a damn, what they say 

We're all just shades of grey 

We're all just shades of grey 

Shades of grey
