Blues in Gray

Charlotte she lingered and lived in the shadows

Helping Mother in the kitchen for hours and hours

Avoiding the charmers, Svengalis and Lords

I sing for the shy girl over minor chords

Blues In Gray

In a dream she ascended outside of her body

She looked down below her to the white fields of cotton

And she realized, she realized

Her dream was long forgotten

She peers out a mouse

hole to an alternate world

To her great, great granddaughters behind her

And she whispers, she hollers "Know freedom!

From Blues In Gray..."

Blues In Gray
