Red Lights Turn To Grey (Child In Disguise) |
LyricsHello, goodbye, you've got her now, for an hour at a timeIt might be right and it might be wrong, at least it's worth the climb You see her smile, you know its true, and then she slips away Her face goes cold, expressionless Red lights turn to grey, red lights turn to grey She's a child in disguise, and you've seen it in her eyes, it's true She's a child in disguise, and she's grown up to be wise with the likes of you Your time is up, you've got to go, there's somewhere she's to be 'Cause talk is cheap, and so is love, but she is not for free You saw her smile, you know its true, and then she slipped away Her face went cold, expressionless Red lights turn to grey, red lights turn to grey She's a child in disguise, and you've seen it in her eyes, it's true She's a child in disguise, and she's grown up to be wise with the likes of you (1st Verse) Red lights turn to grey, red lights turn to grey © 1981 Donnie Barren www.donniebarren.com |
