Touch Of Grey Lyrics - The Arista Years - Grateful Dead

Must be getting early clocks are running late 

Faint light of the morning sky looks so phony 

Dawn is breaking everywhere 

Light a candle curse the glare 

Draw the curtains I don't care 'cause it's alright 

I will get by I will get by 

I will get by I will survive 

I see you've got your fist out say your piece and get out 

Yes I get the gist of it but it's alright 

Sorry that you feel that way the only there is to say 

Every silver lining's got a touch of grey 

I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive 

It's a lesson to me the eagles and the beggars and the seas 

The ABC's we all must face try to keep a little grace 

It's a lesson to me the deltas and the east and the freeze 

The ABC's we all think of and try to win a little love 

I know the rent is in arrears the dog has not been fed in years 

It's even worse than it appears but it's alright 

Cow's giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen 

The words he knows are all obscene but it's alright 

I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive 

The shoe is on the hand that fits, there's really nothing much to it 

Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cause it's alright 

Oh well a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway 

And that was all I had to say and it's alright 

I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive 

We will get by we will get by we will get by we will survive 

We will get by we will get by we will get by we will survive
