Promising Grey Day Lyrics - Vonda Shepard

Eighteen and flying 

Like every great American 

Slept until sundown 

And baby your were wild enough fro me 

Rolled the night over 

In my '72 Nova 

Mexican rain on my 

Tijuana vinyl beer stain 

Watching the sunrise 

Lightening in your lazy eyes 

And all this time you never let me down 

I had a dream 

That made me move to New York City 

Cause I wasn't about to 

About to let this magic slip away 

But he did anyway 

He was kind of illusive that way 

Like clouds on a promising grey day 

The beauty of my life 

A moment that's long gone 

But so much a part of me 

Oh, how I wish it weren't history 

I wish it were my future 

Rolling, rolling my way 

Like clouds on a promising grey day
