5/27/2001 alternate lyrics
Oh, look at how she listens
she says not a word of what she thinks
oh, she just wanders through her memories
staring out onto Grey Street
but she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I walked myself a million times around the world
but I can't get out of this place
As if a fog fell on down her
and she feels the weight of life
and the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
Oh, on the way the light [?]
those stars look beautiful tonight
the wind howls through the willows sunny days
the desert cools down when the night comes out
but she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
oh, the lights of the nighttime keep me frowning again
I wanna get out of this place
As if the fog fell down on me
and she sees those pretty lights
as though [?] banging in her hopefulness
no more hopefulness in her night
when all the colors mix together
to grey
it breaks her heart
She hears the voices from outside her door
say, take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
oh, it'll take the work out of the courage
she thinks, 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
Oh, just like the rocks in her heart fall
and she sees no colors bright
oh and all the rainbows around her
have faded grey and cold in her life
and then she walk out in the morning
feel the wonders so light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
oh, it breaks her heart
it breaks her now
Oh, as if the rope barely [?] her
and she feels for cold and night
and though it's red blood bleeding from her
it felt like cold blue ice in her heart
and when she walk out in the morning
feel the colors so bright
the lover rains on over
won't believe hear, yeah say light
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
grey, yeah

Grey Street
main lyrics
Oh, look at how she listens
she says nothing of what she thinks
she just goes stumbling through her memories
staring out onto Grey Street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this?
I dreamed 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
How she wishes it was different
she prays to God most every night
and 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 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
oh, it'd take the workd 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
Oh, 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
oh, it breaks her heart
to grey, yeah
it breaks her heart, yeah
rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub, yeah
rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub-dub
