Cold Grey Stone
Buzz Carlton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One of these days these blues will be gone
When I'm laid beneath cold grey stone
And when I'm gone then I'll be free
From the blues that haunt me
Often I wonder how it will be
To have no more sorrow when I rest in peace
Sometimes I feel like I'm alright
Then I awake and see the morning light
Some say I'm waiting to be called home
To my final reward beneath a cold grey stone

The lyrics of Buzz Carlton's song 'Cold Grey Stone' reflect a sense of weariness, sadness and longing for the end of suffering. The opening line of "One of these days these blues will be gone" implies that the singer is feeling trapped and weighed down by the pain that they are experiencing. They then go on to sing about their wish to be laid to rest under a "cold grey stone" which is often used as a symbol for a tombstone or grave. This suggests that the singer is looking for a permanent escape from their troubles.
The second verse of the song reflects a sense of hope for the future. The singer acknowledges that they will be free from the "blues that haunt me" once they are gone. The third verse touches on the idea of peace - the singer wonders what it will be like to have no more sorrow when they are at rest.
The final verse further emphasizes the theme of the inevitability of death. The singer wonders whether they are simply waiting for their time to come and to receive their "final reward" under the cold grey stone. These lyrics create a sense of sadness and contemplation, while also offering a somewhat bittersweet sense of release in death.

One of these days these blues will be gone
Someday, the feeling of sadness that I have will be gone
When I'm laid beneath cold grey stone
When I am buried and dead
And when I'm gone then I'll be free
Once I have passed away, I will be free from my sadness
From the blues that haunt me
From the feeling of sadness that constantly troubles me
Often I wonder how it will be
I often wonder what it will be like
To have no more sorrow when I rest in peace
To feel no more sadness when I die
Sometimes I feel like I'm alright
Sometimes I feel like I am doing well and not sad
Then I awake and see the morning light
But then I wake up and see the day beginning, and my sadness returns
Some say I'm waiting to be called home
Some people think I am waiting to die and be taken to my final resting place
To my final reward beneath a cold grey stone
To be buried in the ground under a cold and gray gravestone
