In the quiet of the night
Try as I might
I can't lose my friend
As I try to send
Him away for a while
It's grey all around me
Like my friend the wolf
Can't I be alone for a night
I can't like my friend
Try as I might
In the quiet of the morn
My friend wakes me early
He is always so surly
When I go away
To the land of dreams
It's grey all the day
My friend hovers over
Not a friend but a fiend
Not ever going away
Never once alone
My grey friend
Colours my day
Enveloping me
He chooses grey on grey
Over colour and gaiety
Try as I might
As I scream and fight
My grey friend won't go
He refuses to leave me
How he must love me so!
