Greying

Out of my mother, i came with a scream

And onto my feet, rose with a scheme and

Under my father, i learned how to move

And i move today, like he taught me to

Oooooo

Beside my sisters, i began to speak

Next to my brothers, i began to sing

And i got, hair on my chest, (on my chest)

More on my face, (my face) shadeless, brown, then grey

And i got, dirt on my hands (on my hands)

Blood in my veins that have, (in my veins) seen it's fair share, share of sunny days (sunny days)

And i said, (oooo) i will grow old, still

(oooo) i will grow old, still

(oooo) and i will grow old, still

Sitting a long, i heard myself think

Amidst a crowd, so the bottom of a drain

Out in the country, i learned how to hunt

Deep in the city, i go after what i want

And i got, lines on my cheek (on my cheek)

Stretched out my neck, (out my neck) i am not wise, but i am smarter now then then

And i got, a rhythm in my step (in my step)

Beat in my hear and i, (my heart) done all i can, and it is gotten me this far

And i said, (oooo) i will grow old, still

(oooo) and i will grow old, still

(oooo) and i will grow old, still

Oooo still

Beside a woman, i took my first breath

Next to a lover, first found i could laugh and

Around a child, i first saw myself

In front of a mirror, i see someone else

And i got, a creak in my back (in my back)

A wheeze in my breath and o, (my breath) the days of my youth have not forgotten me yet

And i said, (oooo) i will grow old, still

(oooo) and i will grow old, still

And i will grow old, still

(oooo) still, still, still

Ooooo, still

O, still

(oooo)
