Grey Skies

I woke up today, the skies they were quite grey I knew right then it was to be a dreadful awful day For those dull dark clouds ignored all the crowds They looked at me only - then this they had to say Your woman is leaving - you can't make her stay The love of your life is moving away The clouds had to give me the painful awful truth Then they reminded me I'm no longer a youth When I wake up tomorrow, if that is the case The only thing that's guaranteed those tears on my face Now I ignore the crowds, 'cause of those damned clouds For they had to let me know I'd run my final race My woman is leaving - I can't make her stay The love of my life is moving away The clouds had to give me the painful awful truth Then they reminded me I'm no longer a youth
