To the Distant Grey Lyrics


“These are the lonely things.”

I remember the dreamwind

Filling my sails then blowing me off course

I remember the blue sky

The follies of youth and a wish to die

I remember things held close

Thrown away and forgotten

I foresee that it will come true

This my wind now blows for you

Calling calling

Across the blue

I remember the black heart

The knowledge of age and the falling apart

I remember the feelings I lack

And the friendships that were a stab in the back

Calling calling

Across the blue

I will burn this page today

I will throw my life away

I just do not want to stay

I give it all to the beautiful sea

Calling calling

Across the blue

To the distant grey
