Tuesday's Child

I was an August baby 
Conceived by the Christmas lights 
I came into the world by the setting sun 
On a humid summer night 
When my grandmother held me for the very first time 
She thanked God I looked like 
my daddy 
And I never quite knew just 
what she meant 
But I knew she was a lit-tle too happy 
And now I see


CHORUS
You can't change a stubborn mind 
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind 
What does it matter anyway 
In our 
darkest hour we're all just shades of grey


They got married in a tiny chapel 
1965 
Malcolm X was on the radio 
When he took her as his wife 
And she looked so pretty that September day 
And her older brother cried as he gave her away 
And the minister looked like he didn't know what to say 
And then he spoke


CHORUS
You can't change a stubborn mind 
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind 
What does it matter anyway 
In our 
darkest hour we're all just shades of grey


SOLO


And when my grandmother held me 
For the very first time 
She thanked God 
I looked like my daddy 
And I never gave a 
damn just what she meant 
But I knew she was a little too happy 
And now I see


You can't change a stubborn mind 
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind 
What does it matter anyway 
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey 
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of 




Darkest hour we're all just 
Shades of grey - Hey, Hey, Hey 
It doesn't matter anyway Don't give a damn 
Don't give a damn 
Don't give a damn what they say 
We're all just shades of grey 
We're all just shades of grey 
Shades of grey
