A Shade of Brown Lyrics

So where did we go wrong?

Coz I could only smell the promise

Of a life lived good and long

And the sweetness of your kiss

Is what I miss so goddamn strong

Oh baby where did we go wrong

And what am I to do

With the concession that I've bought

At the graveyard since us two

Not even death would do us part

I know my bones will call for you

Oh baby tell me we ain't through

Out of the corner of her eye

Say I can almost see the dye

Of a shade of brown

But now that she up and left town

No matter how damn hard I try

Yes I might try

To say goodbye

Still I hope to find

A shade of brown

That should be mine

So will you hold my hand

Will you take a leap of faith

I'll do everything to understand

If you promise I'll be safe

There's no such thing as half a man

Could we be happy once again?

Out of the corner of her eye

Say I can almost see the dye

Of a shade of brown

But now that she up and left town

No matter how damn hard I might

Yes I might try

To say goodbye

Still I hope to find

A shade of brown

That should be mine
