Grey November Day Lyrics - Fury In The Slaughterhouse

As far as I know, it was a grey November day 

In 1959 when it began 

My mum used to wash all my tears away 

Trying to protect her little son 

I was supposed to be a doctor 

I was supposed to be a man 

Who works hard for the government 

Hard 'til the very end 

I was supposed to be a banker 

I was supposed to be a whore 

Then music came, heaven sent 

Became my only friend 

My love and my helping hand 

And it never let me down 

It's been a long way 'til today 

From that grey November, grey November day 

'Til today 

From that grey November, grey November day 

Then dad disappeared, I dried my mummy's tears 

Fought against my fears and lost my way 

Ten years ago, my daughter said hello 

Hope started to grow day by day 

I was supposed to be a loser 

I was supposed to be a clown 

Who drowned in the summer rain 

Jumped off the running train 

I was supposed to be a pop star 

I was supposed to be a jerk 

Who doesn't know where he's coming from 

A singer without a song 

No clue how to get along 

But they all were wrong 

It's been a long way 'til today 

From that grey November, grey November day 

'Til today 

From that grey November, grey November day 

I was supposed to be a doctor 

I was forced to heal myself 

It felt good in the summer rain 

Free and without a pain 

I was supposed to be a loser 

But I never lost myself 

In this forest of memories 

I started to climb the trees 

And reach for the stars and leaves 

Not a single one's too high 

As far as I know, it was a grey November day 

In 1959 when it began 

I still dream of dad who sits next to the sun 

And I hope he sees his son walk on
