Song 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

And she thinks, "Hey
How did I come to this?
I've dreamed myself a million times around the world
But I can't get out of this place"
Now there's a loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together to grey
And it breaks her heart

Ya know she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
Though she knows well He doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her He might

She says, "I Pray!
But my prayers, 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

She hears the voices there outside her door
Say, "Take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
Oh, it'd take the work 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
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
It breaks her heart
On Grey Street
On Grey street
To Grey

A beautiful work by a wonderful artist about people who trap themselves in situations then whine about it. At first you think it's sad because she's trapped, and then you realize it's sad because it would be so easy to change her life. And of course the melody is wonderful. My main problem with it is Dave Matthew's voice, which seems slightly slurred, but it's better than many other artists on the radio.
Let's hope DMB keeps up the good work.

I can relate so well to this song. Dave is the man.. that's really all you can say when you listen to him. I love this song, and because I love it, I can't find anything wrong with it.

First of All Doc_Holiday and EastSoccer35, you guys are fricken morons. Grey Street has nothing to do with Some Devil. Grey Street is a song sung by the entire band, some devil is a solo cd. So just curious about what you guys are talking about? so get your facts right before you post someting and make yourselves seem like idiots.

grey street is what you wanted to be however it relates to you is how you see it . It sad but its the truth about a person or w/e u wanted to be it can be a depression
grey street for me is be the reality of a person a person who hates who they are and even thouhg they want to love themsekve the cant because hate is all they see and even thou she trys to be positive she cant because she lives in grey street were theres no beauty and it all depression shes only looking back at everything bad that has happend to her , she wishes she could change but she cant because she dosent thing anybody listens and she cant get out because is not easy for her to get out she tries but its hard when u feel alone and you dont want to open yourself . SO it really is w/e you make it!!

BASEBALLER25.... You're obviously the moron because any REAL Dave Matthews Band fan would know that the two individuals you call "idiots" were talking about the Some Devil Bonus Disc where Grey Street is played by Dave & Tim. It is indeed extroardinary and you just made yourself look like an absolute tool!

Grey Street is a MASTERPIECE!!
