Green in the Grey

[Intro]
[Verse]
The frost is tracing patterns on the pane
I’m brewing tea to hide the winter rain
Your handwriting is fading on the note
Tucked inside my heavy woolen coat
The ceramic is chipped along the rim
The afternoon is looking rather dim
[Pre-Chorus]
I pour a little water on the edge
Of every tiny pot along the ledge
It’s a quiet kind of prayer I keep
While the rest of the garden is asleep
[Chorus]
It’s a slow kind of healing in the light
Keeping all the shadows out of sight
Just a little green inside the grey
Finding a brand new way to stay
I’m okay
[Post-Chorus]
Green in the grey
Finding a way
To stay
Today
I’m okay
[Verse]
The chamomile is cold inside the cup
I’m waiting for the sun to wake us up
We drifted like the clouds across the bay
Nothing left for us to really say
I saw a tiny sprout begin to show
Beneath the heavy blanket of the snow
[Pre-Chorus]
The air is getting thinner in the room
But I’m waiting for the little buds to bloom
I don’t call you like I used to do
But I’m still thinking kindly about you
[Chorus]
It’s a slow kind of healing in the light
Keeping all the shadows out of sight
Just a little green inside the grey
Finding a brand new way to stay
I’m okay
[Bridge]
Sticky notes are curling at the ends
Talking about the cycles of our friends
If I prune the dead parts of the past
Maybe something beautiful will last
One leaf
Two leaves
Breathing through the winter breeze
[Chorus]
It’s a slow kind of healing in the light
Keeping all the shadows out of sight
Just a little green inside the grey
Finding a brand new way to stay
I’m okay
[Post-Chorus]
Green in the grey
Finding a way
To stay
Today
I’m okay
[Outro]
