The .357 String Band
...And All the World Turns Gray
Well, I will always love you
Forever, come what may
Oh, my sweet little darling
There ain't a thing that could ever make me stray
See, I've been watching you for weeks now
And I've never seen someone quite so pure
My loneliness is a disease
Oh, but darling you are my cure
And all the world turns black
Whenever you go away
And I need to find a spark
To light my lonely way
And then when you get back
A slightly better shade
And I see your smiling face, girl
And all the world turns gray
Tell me why are you with that fella?
What could he ever mean to you?
Darling, trust me when I say this
He don't know you like I do
I see you standing in the mirror
And you put your hair up so fine
Take off your face, put on your nightgown
Goodnight little darling, sleep tight
Goodnight, goodnight
My darling to you, goodnight
I'll never take you alive
So I'll take you how I can
And now I see your shadow in odd places
And it's you that's following me
Your face is in the faces of strangers
And your ghost is haunting me
