One Grey Morning Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

You can count on many things 

To let you down 

You can take you plans 

And stick 'em six feet underground 

But wouldn't your time be better spent 

On days to come? 

Not the ones that went 

And left you on a doorstep one grey morning 

There's a rumour and everybody's so convinced 

But you don't believe your eyes have seen no evidence 

Of any good left in this town 

Of any need to be hanging around 

But you'll leave the sun behind you one grey morning 

One grey morning 

One of many grey mornings 

Always turning up without warning 

One grey morning 

One of many dream orphans 

You follow up on all the leads 

That lead nowhere 

Trying to recognize 

The need inside that led you there 

You'll either listen to your heart 

Or go drown it out in a noisy bar 

Til you're overcome by the silence one grey morning 

One grey morning 

Like today 

Wouldn't your time be better spent 

On days to come? 

Not the ones that went 

And left you on a doorstep one grey morning 

One grey morning 

Like today
