lyrics

Somewhere in between coffee and whiskey there’s me
Somewhere in between the north and the east there’s me
Somewhere in between ideas and realty there’s me
I just want to be somewhere where there’s no where to be
I’ve been living in the grey
I’ve gone back to my old ways
But eventually grey turns black or white
Well it was good, so good while it lasted
Maybe it was something or maybe nothing
My God you’ve got the blue eyes and the Elvis hair
Thank God you don’t know me from anywhere
So go on and kiss me in the cold night air
And I think if I could be anywhere I’d be right here
Cause I’ve been living in the grey
I’ve gone back to my old ways
But eventually grey turns black or white
Well it was good, so good while it lasted
Maybe it was something or maybe nothing
I once held hands with a man who’s life hung by a thread
But he’s from a different time where death is just another debt
You’re born and you live and you die and that’s the only fact
The rest is what shade of grey you like until it all turns black
I’ve been living in the grey
I’ve gone back to my old ways
But eventually grey turns black or white
Well it was good, so good while it lasted
Maybe it was something or maybe nothing
Somewhere in between the sand and the sea there’s me
Somewhere in between a thought and a dream there’s me
Somewhere in between the trapped and the free there’s me
And this beautiful grey has taken over everything

A big, epic, monstrous beast of an album in which everything that was promised by the previous two records comes to fruition. The final track is an almost ambient palate cleanser. Listeners who have only heard her debut album will be so phenomenally unprepared for what they're about to hear. Ed Martin
