Touch Of Gray The Grateful Dead

Must be getting early, clock are running late
Paint my love a morning sky, looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care, but it's alright

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

I see you've got your list out, say your piece and get out
Guess I get the jist of it, but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say
Every silver linings got a touch of gray

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

It's a lesson to me, the ablers and the beggars and the seas
ABC's we all must face, try to keep a little grace

I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but it's alright
Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright
