COLD GREY BARS
(Spade Cooley)


Charles Lee Guy, III - 1961
Ned Miller - 1961





Cold grey bars for windows
Cold grey walls full of you
Makes no difference, darling
All I see is you

Your sweet face will haunt me
All the days of my life
Can't you know I love you
My dearest, my darling, my wife

Last night I had a vision
Maybe you'd call it a dream
We were there together
Like days gone by it seems

SPOKEN:
There were no cold grey bars
No walls to block my view
But I'd give the world and all its gold
To make this dream come true

Lost and gone forever
So the people say
Soon I'll come and join you
On my judgement day

Please, I ask a favour
Just one last request
Lay me there beside her
For our eternal rest
