Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews - Grey Street Lyrics

Oh look at how she listens

She says nothing of what she thinks

She just goes stumbling through her memories

Staring out on to Grey Street



She thinks, “Hey,

How did I come to this?

I dream myself a thousand times around the world,

But I can't get out of this place?



There's an emptiness inside her

And she'd do anything to fill it in

But all the colors mix together - to grey

And it breaks her heart



How she wishes it was different

She prays to God most every night

Though she swears it doesn't listen

There's still a hope in her "HE" might



She says, “I pray

Oh, but they fall on deaf ears,

Am I supposed to take it on myself

To get out of this place??



Oh there's a loneliness inside her

And she'd do anything to fill it in

And though it's red blood bleeding from her now

It felt like cold blue ice in her heart

When all the colors mix together - to grey

And it breaks her heart



There's a stranger speaks outside her door

Says take what you can from your dreams

And make them as real as anything

It'd take the work out of the courage



She says, “Please

There's a crazy man, he's creeping outside my door,

I live on the corner of Grey Street

and the end of the world?



There's an emptiness inside her

And she'd do anything to fill it in

And though it's red blood bleeding from her now

It's more like cold blue ice in her heart

She feels like kicking out all the windows

And setting fire to this life

She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright

But all the colors mix together - to grey

And it breaks her heart

It breaks her heart

To grey
