I met a man I didn't know that asked me "how are you doing?" Shoulda just said fine cause it's all he wanted to hear But for reasons unknown in a sorrowful tone I said Man it's been a hell of a year And I don't really know where I'm going And I might just be hangin' around If life shades of gray then I guess you could say That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds I went to go see some gypsy to tell me my future But she asked for my photograph instead As I walked through the cold with my fortune untold I said Good luck trying to reach me when I'm dead Cause I don't really know where I'm going And I might just be hangin' around If life shades of gray then I guess you could say That I've been waiting on a break in the clouds That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds I saw the love I used to know swallow me whole On a day I was out of clean clothes She sized me up and she said "honey, how is your head?" I said "you can't call me honey, but honey heaven only knows" And I don't really know where I'm going And I might just be hangin around If life shades of gray then I guess you could say That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds Bet your gonna be finding a break in the clouds No, no, I don't, no, I don't know where I'm going And I might might might might just be hangin' around And if life shades of gray then I guess you could say That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds
