Wake in the morning
Lord I'm drunken with the dawn
Waiting on a train that I know runs no more
Just outside of Baltimore

Or Chicago well I just don't know
Everyday it's harder when you spend your time alone
And then there's no one there to ever say hello
When the sweet morning sun does come
And it always seems to come

Oh one day I will rise
High above it all
She will catch me if I fall
And I know I will always be the
King of Grey

Sweet promises of springtime
Turn the brown lies of early fall
Oh orbiting around a love that I once called my own
Never, never have I felt so small

And maybe it's the wintertime
Come to make me feel so cold
But there is just a slight chance
This pain comes from watching smiles fade away
They fade away

But one day I will rise
High above it all
She will catch me if I fall
And I will live today and I will

Watch her dancing in the sun
My whole world's come undone
And I know I will always be the
King of Grey

And bring me summertime
And take away this pain of mine
This emptiness is far too much won't somebody please
Come pick me up, pick me up, pick me up

'Cause one day I will rise
High above it all
She will catch me if I fall
And I will live today and I will

Watch her dancing in the sun
My whole world's come undone
And I know I will always be the
King of Grey

Oh yes always, oh yes I'll always
Be the King of Grey
