Grey, Grey Sky

Grey, Grey Sky by:Grace Hutton Someday I will ride the great bird Into the sky, into the grey And will take a bright secret of mine Into the grey, grey sky. And the light will come, piercing my eyes Out of the sky, out of the grey Come blinding and searing these eyes Out of the grey, grey sky. And I will find comfort in this In the wide sky, in the wide grey In the painful dark brightness of light Light of the grey, grey sky. My secret will fly away home Into the sky, into the grey And the great bird will follow it there Into the grey, grey sky. And I will be riding that bird Bird of the sky, bird of the grey And I will come home once again Home to the grey, grey sky. But for now I am weighted, earthbound One of the mud, one of the ground And I write this sad song to sad sound Girl of the pavement sighs.
