Shades - Dandy John (😥☀️)

"Shades" to all people in Asia who are affected by the severe earthquakes. I wish you all the strength to see the light at the end of this dark time again.

Shades of grey when I close my eyes.

The veil of darkness covering the lights.

Shades of grey are whispering at me,

poetry of sorrow and dismay.

 

But I walk straight on.

I don’t review my mind.

I go on and on.

Troubles left behind.

 

I want to see the lights behind the empty darkness.

I want to feel the way you love me with your sweet caress.

It is time to get so far away.

Let the hope survive.

 

Shades of grey have taken all I’ve had,

knowing situations I’ve gone through.

Shades of grey remembering my doubts,

before I’ve crossed the fields and I’ve found you.

 

But we walk straight on.

We don’t review our minds.

We go on and on.

Troubles left behind.

 

I want to see the lights behind the empty darkness.

I want to feel the way you love me with your sweet caress.

It is time to get so far away.

Let the hope survive.

 

I doubtfully stepped out of the train,

on a journey where something has to change.

The foggy towers are staring at me.

They seem to bend over shadows of trees.

The night is flowing down the lane.

But I am trying not to complain.

Out of dim curtains flows the tar on my way

and then some lights appear out of the gray.

 

But we walk straight on.

We don’t review our minds.

We go on and on.

Troubles left behind.

 

I want to see the lights behind the empty darkness,

I want to feel the way you love me with your sweet caress,

it is time to get so far away,

let the hope survive.
