The Grey Room II (Hidden Annexe)

I have during the week returned to a track I started a couple of weeks back called "The Grey Room II (Hidden Annexe)". After struggling with this one things clicked in to place last night with the structure of the song completed and a rough demo recorded.

The song was intended to be an instrumental which was inspired by the story of Anne Frank (Hence the "Hidden Annexe" reference in the song title) but today I have come up with some lyrics and done a very rough vocal over the demo and it sounds promising. I have written the lyrics which refer back to the time the frank family hid in an annexe in a building during the war.

Here are the lyrics:

A Thousand Pages On The Floor
Inside A Place That No One Knew
The Memories From So Long Ago
A Room With People I Don't Know

Although I Never Knew His Name
He Looked Like Someone That I Knew
He Cast A Shadow By The Door
I Think I've Seen Him Here Before

Outside I Want To Catch My Breath
I Look Around But, There's No One Left

Outside I Want To Catch My Breath
I Look Around But, There's No One Left

Lyrics By Gary Hunter
