Blues in Gray

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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"

[Outro]
Blues in gray
