This is actually a song I wrote 38 years ago. I just opened it up to an entirely different genre and adjusted the melody and made some tweaks in the lyrics. I also brought in a little mandolin solo. Thanks for a great FAWM 2025!

Postscript: The story ended well. The woman at the other end of the bus trip in the song and I have been married now for 37 years… very happily. 😊❤️

Grey Sky

It’s raining, and the sky is grey On a bus, no one knows what to say I’m not really sure where I’m going today As tears stream down this window…

I thought I might come and stay for awhile But the thing between us is more than just miles A knife blade twists when I think of your smile As tears stream down this window…

Ooh, Ooh… Sometimes we care so much We seem not to care at all, Sometimes we cry so much All we can see are tears…

Ooh, Ooh… Sometimes we care so much We seem not to care at all, Sometimes we cry so much All we can see are tears…

It’s raining, and the sky is grey On a bus, no one knows what to say I’m not really sure where I’m going today As tears stream down this window…

This window… This window… This window… This window…
