Imagine yourself born in a country that you left at age 5 moving to another place on the other side of the world then- after 50+ years, you return to your birth country. How would it feel? Experience the sights, smell, pastures, canals, churches, clocks, trams-the list goes on and it feels so good.

Lyrics

Verse 1.
Welcome to the grey world my friend
The drizzle won’t keep you down
Just a little different in the Northern light. Where did you say you were from?

I’m just passing through
Can you tell me what should I do
Fifty one years is a hell of a time but I’m feelin’ fine

Verse 2.
Welcome to the old world my friend
I wanna see a windmill or two
I’m a little scared to go into a shop, don’t want to drop

I had to go to Vincent’s museum
For things that I’d never seen
There I was cryin’, I’m not lyin’, I could not move

Bridge
I've been here before
In this place
This was my desire
Colour my world
Paint a song
Here is my reply

Solo- Repeat

Verse 4.
You and I we shared a dream
We wanted to make the scene
After you went, the money was spent to buy everything you ever made

Welcome to the grey world my friend
Everything is great in the end
Here in this place I’m at one with the world, just read my face

Verse 5.
Welcome to the grey world my friend
Everything is great in the end
Here in this place, I’m at one with the world just read my face
