Story Behind The Song
In life, there is both Dark and Light. There is also... something in between. Something we call "Grey". I wrote BEAUTY IN GREY in on New Years Day 2008. It was a cold Winter afternoon in Lincoln, CA, and I was thinking of someone far away. This track, BEAUTY IN GREY, has a feeling of Hope like the Sun shining through thick, grey clouds.

Music and Lyrics: Matthew J Doughty
V1
I know you checked out a long time ago, Anything to ease the pain.
When you wander in the Winter, can I walk with you my love?
Sometimes I feel as old as the trees, I lived a lifetime in ten days.
You opened doors in my spirit I forgot I'd locked away.
Ch
And I want you to know that
I see beauty, I see the Beauty In Grey.
V2
You haunt me still with the memory of Love, and with that look in your eyes.
I saw all the way to the concrete wall on the back of your soul.
I'm lost in Winter on this winding road. Don't you remember, you're my guide?
You hold the keys to a life I may never ever find.
Ch
And I want you to know that
I see beauty, I see the Beauty In Grey.
And I want you to know that
I see beauty, I see the Beauty In Grey.
BR
But what I want for you
is to live a life in full-color...
