Dissolve To Grey

When blue is blue and green is green

And all the air around is serene

You forget that sometimes battles rage

Upon the world's twisted stage

'Cause black's not black and white's not white

Or there would never be a fight

It's hard to find a middle ground

Where common reason can be found

So cry when you hear them coming

Cry, for help is on the way

Cry when the army's overrunning

And see if their true colors rise and rule the day

Winters pass, friends are gone

Life takes turns, but you gotta carry on

Months go by, love may disappear

The painting's dry and the picture becomes clear

Sometimes colors blur and blend

You don't know where one starts and one ends

Recklessness can rule the day

We need a voice to guide our way

'Cause when black is white and white is black

And there's no choice of turning back

Then through that gate we'll march in fear

And hope the trail ahead is clear

Roll on, sing out you sinners

Roll on, so that the movie's plot will play

Roll on, the tension's taught and building

And hope a miracle arrives and brings a better way

Winters pass, friends are gone

Life takes turns, but you gotta carry on

Months go by, love may disappear

The painting's dry and the picture becomes clear

When weeks grow cold and time goes by

When lakes do freeze and the paint now dries

And the cycle of spring flowers die

And the politicians shout their lies

When all around the stars shine bright

In the darkness quiet dead of night

We then set sail across a bay

Where black and white dissolve to gray

Winters pass, friends are gone

Life takes turns, but you gotta carry on

Months go by, love may disappear

The painting's dry and the picture becomes clear

Winters pass, friends are gone

Life takes turns, but you gotta carry on

Months go by, love may disappear

The painting's dry and the picture becomes clear

Winters pass, friends are gone

Life takes turns, but you gotta carry on
