Life Is Grey

Only yesterday I told myself that life is grey Didn't make me sad Made me feel human Only yesterday I told myself that love is green Greener than the trees Growing in my bedroom Made me want to lose myself, lose myself In a song about the sun Or the many things that I don't understand Like I did since I was young Made me want to open doors, sleep on floors In a world outside your door Watch a movie, play some piano Write a sonnet, build an army Let's build an army Now will you love me? Let's build an army Only yesterday I realized that tall, dark tomb Punctuates the sky A giant's exclamation Shame on our beloved nation The codes we send as ash into the sky Oh, sorrow cure me from tiny glories Now dig for beauty and build an army Let's build an army Now will you love me? Then build an army The truth is life is grey The truth is times are strange The truth is I'm okay And you're beautiful The truth is life is grey The truth is times are strange The truth is I'm okay And you're beautiful And you're beautiful And you're beautiful And you're beautiful And you're beautiful And you're beautiful --- Life Is Grey - Jamie Cullum
