lyrics

Greyscales
lyrics ©Storm Garner2006

the last time I was kissed
I was thinking of marriage--
old age and children too--
but things fell through...

these days I won't insist,
or expect to find true love
inside your kiss, but
it's missed, you know,
it's missed--that much shows,
doesn't it?

I'd been traveling for a while,
'round the world in this body of mine
which is mostly just vehicular...
nothing to my name but a smile:
I gave my heart to the whole world but
not to anybody in particular...

then I met you...
and I knew,
and you did too:
that phase was through.

you say love's black or white;
I'm inclined to see it as grey,
speckled with black and/or white
depending on the day.

these days I won't insist
or expect to find true love
inside your kiss but
it's missed, you know,
it's missed--that much shows,
doesn't it?
