Grey Street Lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

Grey Street Lyrics

    Oh, just sitting while she listens
    She says I don't need this place
    It seems a million years she's stuck here
    But says nothing of what she thinks

    She thinks, "Hey,
    How did I come to this?
    I dreamt like anybody else one night
    I would be a beautiful princess."

    But then the roads in the park fall
    And then she rode the line in
    And the colors mix together to grey
    And break me out

    Oh, when I'm indifferent
    She prays to God most every night
    Although she swears He doesn't listen
    There's hope in her that He just might

    She says, "I pray
    But then my prayer fall on deaf ears
    I'm supposed to take it all myself
    To get out of this place."

    She feels the lumps in the heart fall
    And she rose up in the back
    She hears the cars scream out from outside
    And she whispers sometimes about this
    But the colors mix together to grey
    And wake me up

    Oh, he grows up living
    He says take what you can from your dreams
    Make them real as anything
    It takes the work out of the courage

    She said, "Please,
    There's a crazy man standing outside my door
    I live on the corner of a dead end street
    At the end of the world."

    Oh, and the rocks out in the heart fall
    And she dreams her way to life
    And she knows no one will lift her
    So she might as well do it herself

    And then bummed out and worried
    Of leaving city life
    But all the colors mix together to grey
    On Grey Street
    On Grey Street
    To Grey Street

    Oh, when it comes down in your loving
    Oh, well then baby it's right
    You say you think you are nothing
    No one else will do it for you
    Reach up and grab hold of the sunlight
    When you are waiting for what's right
    You're holding on your Heaven
    Won't leave you, yeah, yeah...

    And the colors mix together to grey
    Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
    To grey.
