Daughter - Blue And Grey Lyrics






One day there was a girl who cried tears of pearls
and her eyes were blue and green like none I've ever seen
And she met a man that night who filled her with delight
and he spoke in poetry and rhyme
and she loved him in no time

But he changed
and then soon he became jealous of her beauty and fame
And he locked her away and he forced her to play
songs that were blue, songs that were grey
Yeah, yeah

So then this lonely girl had, had enough of her world
so she climbed to the top of the tallest tower and stood there for way over an hour
Until she decided she'd jump, so she jumped with a very loud thump
And all of the neighbours, they came out and cried
when they discovered that this poor girl had died
And a boy, he just stood there and gasped at this beauty asleep on the grass
Well, her eyes were like none he had seen
except for the girls in his dreams

Then he changed
and then soon he became depressed and very, very strange
He'd lock himself away for days and days
and play songs that were blue and play songs that were grey
and play songs that reminded him of that day
Yeah, yeah

One day, there was a girl who fell in love with a boy in a different world
and she speaks to him at night, only in a certain light
She wore white when he wore black and they were like a perfect match
And though one was dead and one was alive
Through many years, their love did survive

'Til time faded and soon they became both exactly the same
and they both are floating in the sky singing their own lullaby
of a song of them that reminds them of a past time
a song that reminds them of a past day
a song that is blue and a song that is grey
a song that is blue and a song that is grey
a song that is blue, a song that is grey

    He was more in love with the afterlife than he was in her

  2. O.... T....

    This has such a deep meaning and is so amazing! She deserves more credit for her voice!

  3. G.... S....

    This song is just so beautiful. It is hard to see songs like this be so.. idk.. underrated. They really should've gotton a lot more attention. It is so true... it hurts how true it is!

    FOR GOD'S SAKE CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE TO FIND THIS SONG ON ITUNES I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR 2 YEARS TO FIND IT AND I STILL CAN'T. Found the artist, not the song. Seriously Elena if you're reading this I want nothing more than to buy your song and encourage you but you're not making it easy!

    K.... C....

    Keena Chabot-Maheux Did you check Columbia House?

  6. C.... L....

    Genius song. Masterpiece

  7. H.... ....

    Who else is watching in 2017 because they miss this song or am I just the only one xD?

    H.... ....

    It's okay, you are not alone xD

    H.... ....

    Hailey me, I had an obsession with this song almost 3 years ago

    H.... ....

    2018 🤙🏻

  8. C.... M....

    Blue and grey are my two favorite colors. . .

  9. L.... D....

    Wow I don't know what I cant say about this song, its just so sad and beautiful on same time. <3

  10. C.... C....

    This reminds me of Over the Garden Wall with Beatrice and Wirt and the girl Wirt had a crush on.

  11. I.... ....

    This is too beautiful! Sometimes her voice reminds me of Regina Spektor's ♥

  12. B.... C....

    This song has such strong meaning. Couples sometimes take for-granted of one another and try to force them to change. Greed, jealousy, and control is such a negative aspect in a relationship. You also can't force a relationship because someone else out there needs them more.

  13. M.... M....

    -this sounds like some sort of Sherlock AU fanfic.

  14. B.... ....

    Love every sound, word and picture here, a perfect match. Thanks for inspiring both, heart and imagination.

  15. M.... T....

    wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  16. L.... S....

    THIS SONG RESEMBLES SO MUCH OF THE FROG AND THE NIGHTINGALE- a poem by Vikram Seth

  17. b.... l....

    Someone please do a cover! I mean i lover her singing it but i want to hear it from a man singing.

    b.... l....

    +brody lockwood i would cover this but a lower pitch perhaps with piano.. wonder how that would sound

    b.... l....

    @Saif Al naqbi I think it would sound great. you should do it :D

  18. H.... S....

    This ballad holds such an extreme meaningful story within the lyrics and the only fault I find with it is how under appreciated this song and the artist herself (Daughter) is. Not only is her originality aspiring but she personifies a realism into her song and personifies two opposite emotions (in this case depressed and joyousness) almost as if they were two people walking hand in hand. Her language in this ballad is recognisable because of the music industries current flow of meaningless songs and I think Daughter should be proud she fuels people's more creative sides revolving music to aspire to create meaningful songs with moral, understanding and soul. Daughters music is a story worth telling.

  19. Y.... L....

    The feels 💔

    Y.... L....

    Same😭💔

  20. R.... ....

    These songs just make people depressed

    R.... ....
