  • What is there to say
    When in front of you there lays
    A strong path that paved your way
    Now shattered lost shades of grey
    I guess I missed her this overgrown sister
    With no cement in the mixture
    Well let me paint this dark picture
    They weren't men they were duds
    There was blood
    Fed and thugs wed her calm heart
    And now she’s laying in the dark
    In a pool of filth
    I found a body in the dark
    I found her body in the dark

    I guess it’s my turn to burn through
    The rest of these funny days
    I stress when my turn to
    Earn you a better life runs astray
    I can’t say what’s right
    But understand the pain that enslaves
    It hasn’t hit me as easily as some might say

    We all find a day to slip away
    You pour your heart, your aching soul
    Where I stay bold
    Look for the times you took to hold
    My naked soul deep sea diver
    Born skiver two month fiver
    I’ve hurt everyone but you
    I see things simple but it only rekindles
    These dark shades of blue
    It’s the darkest shade of blue
    It’s the darkest shade of blue

    I guess it’s my turn to burn through
    The rest of these funny days
    I stress when my turn to
    Earn you a better life runs astray
    I can’t say what’s right
    But understand the pain that enslaves
    It hasn’t hit me as easily as some might say

    It hasn’t hit me in the same way
    It hasn’t hit me
    There was not much else to say
    It hasn’t hit me but I still feel the pain
    It hasn’t hit me
    There was not much more to say has this hit? Writer/s: E. Y. HARBURG, VERNON DUKE
