Tom Paxton
Even a Gray Day
Even a gray day
With a cold wind
Train late again
Even a gray day
Is a good day now

Even a black night
With a hard rain
With plans down a drain
Even a black night
Is a good night now

Fresh out of answers, I threw in my hand
Stood with my back to the wall
But thanks to your kindness that I understand
That it could have been no life at all

Now even a hard time
With a thin shoe
And my bills coming due
Even a hard time
Is a good time now

Yes even a weekend
In a strange town
And the snow comin’ down
Yes even a weekend
Is a good friend now
Fresh out of answers, I threw in my hand
Stood with my back to the wall
But thanks to your kindness that I understand
That it could have been no life at all

Now even a gray day
With a cold wind
My train late again
Even a gray day
Is a good day now
Even a gray day
Is a good day now
