That cold north wind is blowing grey eyes you know   Years are quickly going grey eyes you know   And the good life I promised you so long ago   Is dead but for the dreaming grey eyes you know   We never had much money grey eyes you know   More rainy days than sunny grey eyes you know   And life has been a long hard road to hoe   But you stuck right by me smiling grey eyes you know   Hard times took the blue from your eyes leaving them grey as the winter's skies   Well we've had our talk now I must walk away   And leave you here beneath this pound of clay   And I feel so empty as I turn to go   For my heart lies there beside you grey eyes you know   Yes my heart lies there beside you grey eyes you know
