7/25/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh, just look at how she listens
she says nothing of what she thinks
she always dreaming and amuses
as she stares out onto Grey Street
but she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I'm supposed to take this on the side
to keep my head up afloat
And all the wrong in her heart love
[???] bring [?green / dream?] boat of the side
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and the tears rain on down
Oh, to say to take her soul
she prays to God most every night
although she knows he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that he just might
she says, I pray
oh, but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take this load myself
to get up out of this place
And then the wrongs in her heart fall
as she remembers the golden light
oh, how the blue stars rained it over love
and take our world and take her night
oh, but then the colors mix together
to grey
and the rain fall down
Oh, there's a voice that doesn't listen
said pray to God with what you [?]
make your dreams real as anything
it'll take the work out of the courage
she said, please
there's a crazy man creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
Oh, though the sunlight is around her
and blue stars rain it right
and red dirt bleeds his heart out
and the wandering the earth all wet
oh, love the white comb out the hurry
won't see her, she light
all the colors mix together
to grey
and the rain come down
and the rain fall down
to break her heart
And though the road leads on out here
the red sun sets in her heart
only the loneliness, blue all over
and at home dark holds her heart
oh man, she don't hold me down in her heart [?]
only want love in her mind
when was your hollow into the courage
won't leave her, yeah, say light
all the colors mix together
to grey
and the rain fall down
and breaks her heart
the rain 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
