It seemed I was the first to know We lost our faith down there in Mexico You clung and wouldn’t let it go Why? I don’t know Mayan ruins on our way Knew there’d come the day I’d have only what you left me with And that’s just various shades of gray Splendid moments before the fall Then you’d decide to toss away it all The tangled jungle where you slipped away Like morning mist, ocean spray, a distant day My landing on your shore Antarctic winters offer more I listened for the words you said you’d say Instead left various shades of gray And I’m living here, just waking and sleeping here In my charcoal shadowed room Sure extracted your toll You left with my soul my faith I live in winter never free Nothing could suffice I’m tied to ice and I’ve been abandoned to the sea Sure extracted your toll You left with my soul my faith I have to feel my way A theft of the heart In the stealth of the dark And this is where every rainbow fades Leaving various shades of gray
