Hawk and Dove - Grey Parade lyrics

rate me

The grey parade goes by

From sick beds into town.

All our plans were painted red,

And then watered down to dead

And you say,

All I ask is that you would like

To try them once again.

A red dress in the wind

Pinned all along the wire.

Oh, I tried to kiss her mouth,

Now the dress is on the ground.

All the red is marching South,

And I know it won't be found.

Now the sky she knows just one

Reflection of the sea.

And she knows just what she's worth,

Oh she's just a mirror for

But she rains down from above,

What it is she wants to be

On the grey parade?

While the familiar noise

Turns daylight into grey.

No, don't stay in bed for me,

No, don't rest inside a frame!

Cause the rain will come, she always comes,

To wash the red away!
