IN THE SHADE Aug. 14/87 Karl Rigelhof

Shades of gray
Fade away
Into yesterday
Only/never to return

Shades of dark(ness)
Cold and stark
Smother(s) the spark
Raging in our/the soul(s)

Shades of white
Flood the night
I wish I may/
Ready to fight
I wish I might/
Eager for battle

Shades of sorrow
Bought (begged) or borrowed
(Linger(s)) (un)til tomorrow
Never/only to be forgotten/replaced

Shades of black
Begin the/to attack
A stab in the back
The flash of the/a blade

Shades of truth
Offer proof
For/to/of the aging (of) youth
And the death of life/
And the/our life of death

Shades of light
Blind their/(y)our sight
(And) burn so bright
Into (our/their) (memory/ies)/mind(s)

CHORUS:
(You've) got it made
Made in the shade
In the shade
Shade
