Lyrics

She is trapped inside a month of gray
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle, and then runs away

It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's all right with me

She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away

She'll change so suddenly-- she's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's all right with me

Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time:
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie

She's entwined in me-- crazy as can be
Yeah, but she's all right with me
She's all right-- she's all right with me
