Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews - Grey Street (Lillywhite Sessions) lyrics

rate me

Look at how she listens

She says nothing of what she thinks

Just listens to abuses

And by the kitchen sink...

She thinks, "Hey!

Why do I live to this?

I'm latest on life

How did it end like this?"

Oh, when the roads in her heart fall

And she feels the weight of life

And the colors mix together to grey

Grey Street

Begging now the difference

She prays to God most everynight

Although she swears He doesn't listen

There's hope in her that He just might

She said, "I Pray!" "I Pray!" "I Pray!"

"But they fall on deaf ears

I'm supposed to take it all on myself

To get out of this place."

But when the roads in her heart fall

And then she rode the light in

Oh, the pain now seems it's over

And again she sees the pain

And then the colors mix together to grey

On Grey Street

It's all colored in again

Take what you can from your dreams

Make it real as anything

Takes the work out of the courage

She said, "Please!" "Please!" "Please!"

"There's someone sleeping outside my door

I live on the corner of Grey Street

And the end of the world."

And the wrong in her whole plan

I as hopeless as the day she came

And the man she calls her father

Ignores her and ignores her pain

Oh, when I walk out in the morning

In all this sunlight

And all the colors mix together to grey

On Grey Street

On Grey Street

It's Grey Street, you go

So, don't lose your heaven

Don't convince yourself you're done

Just 'cause the things around you seem heavy

Doesn't mean you can't get off this ground

When you hold me down in the heartland

Move out and, oh, the wait is over

Oh, might notice of your worry

One another daylight

And the colors mix together to grey

On Grey Street

On Grey Street

To grey...

Yeah, yeah...
