Fields of Gray Lyrics

I find this song musically boring, but I love the simple honest lyrics.

The song could be speaking to a loved one, but seems to fit better as a song to a young child eg.

"I will grab you and lift you As you hold on tight and sway We'll go walking"

Could be taken literally and figuratively in terms of a child, certainly that's how I take it. The premise of the song being about negotiation the uncertainties of life (the greyness) rings quite true in my life too. A good song.
