Devenir gris Devenir gris One man on a lonely platform One case sitting by his side Two eyes staring cold and silent Show fear as he turns to hide Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Un homme dans une gare isolée Une valise a ses cotés Des yeux fixes et froids Montre de la peur lorsqu'il Se tourne pour se cacher Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine Sortant de derriere d'un poster Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Feel the rain like an English summer Hear the notes from a distant song Stepping out from a back shop poster Wishing life wouldn't be so long Devenir gris Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Devenir gris Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Devenir gris Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Devenir gris Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
