Grey Street (lillywhite Sessions) Lyrics

Grey Street (lillywhite Sessions) lyrics

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, then the wrongs in her heart fall



And she feels the weight in lies



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 soon the wrongs 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, if you don't see your Heaven



Don't convince yourself you're done



Just 'cause the things around you seem heavy



Doesn't mean you can give up this ground







When you hold me down in the heart now



Move out and, oh, the wait is over



Oh, might notice of your worry



One another ... (?)



And the colors mix together to grey



On Grey Street



On Grey Street



To grey...



Yeah, yeah...
