Grey Street - Dave Matthews Band

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

And though she swears

He doesn't listen

There's still a hope in her

He might



She says

"I pray

But they fall

On deaf ears

Am I supposed to take it

On myself

To get out of this place?"



There's loneliness inside her

And she'd do anything to fill it in

And though it's red blood

Bleeding from her now

It feels 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

Make them as real

As anything

It'd take the work out of the courage



But she says

"Please

There's a crazy man that'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, yeah...
