Late Lament Lyrics - Prelude - Moody Blues

Breathe deep the gathering gloom, 

Watch lights fade from every room. 

Bedsitter people look back and lament 

Another day's useless energy is spent. 

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one; 

Lonely man cries for love and has none; 

New mother picks up and suckles her son; 

Senior citizens wish they were young. 

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night 

Removes the colours from our sight, 

Red is grey is yellow white 

But we decide which is right 

And which is an illusion
