Jewel - Train Song (Aka Paler Shade Of Grey) - Текст песни

I try to recall what it was you said to me just then

   but this train keeps on rocking me back to sleep

   and I fear come tomorrow I won't even remember your name

   

   I'd make myself remember

   Make myself recall

   but these promises and these vows I made you now

   seem to have no voice at all

   The color of the canyons

   When first it was said I love you

   But these colors and these canyons

   now all seem silly and small

   I don't understand at all

   how these colors in my memory just fade

   into such a pale shade of grey

   

   and cold rails remind me of your cold feet

   and my eyes expect to see you behind every door

   but when I shut my eyes

   I can't even recall what it is that you wore

   My god was that only yesterday

   I can't even remember your face

   I feel so far away

   

   I make myself remember

   Make myself recall

   but these promises and these vows I made you now

   seem to have no voice at all

   The color of the canyons

   When first it was said I love you

   But these colors and these canyons

   now all seem silly and small

   I don't understand at all

   how these colors in my memory just fade away

   into such a pale shade of grey

   

   *I say to myself My god I used to love him

   I wanted to share with him my womb and my world

   But now I stare at him as though through a glass wall

   I say I used to love him but now I feel nothing for him at all

   My god how could this be

   Won't you please explain this to me

   

   Now sleep sings to me in a sweet and urgent voice

   And I fear that I have no choice but to forget these flowers

   these daisies you gave me, the offerings you made me

   the vows that we swore by, swearing we'd be together

   always and forever, the children we named and now we'll never have

   and I know I'm supposed to meet you

   I don't even think I'll remember your name tomorrow

   

   I make myself remember

   Make myself recall

   but these promises and these vows I made you now

   seem to have no voice at all

   The color of the canyons

   When first it was said I love you

   But these colors and these canyons

   now all seem silly and small

   I don't understand at all

   how these colors in my memory just fade away

   into such a pale shade of grey
