Grey Street

by Dave Matthews

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 dream 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
and it breaks her heart

You know 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 it 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?"

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
it'll take the work out of 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"

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
it breaks her heart
to grey

Chayanne!

My first favorite Latin artist! I had such a huge crush when I was 13.


Atado a Tu Amor
(Tied to Your Love)

No llames la atención
(Don't call attention to yourself)
ni sigas provocandome
(and don't keep provoking me)
Que ya voy comprendiendo cada movimiento
(I'm starting to understand every movement)
Me gusta lo que haces
(I like what you do)
para conquistarme
(to conquer me)
para seducirme
(to seduce me)
para enamorarme
(to make me fall in love)
Y vas causando efecto
(and it's working)
....

Mira lo que has hecho que he caido preso
(Look what you've done that I've fallen prisoner)
de tu cuerpo y de tu mente
(to your body and to your mind)
Y en un agujero de tu corazón
(and in a pinhole in your heart)
y tú no estás presente
(and you're not present)
Y la libertad te juro no la quiero
(And I swear I don't want freedom)
si estoy contigo
(If I'm with you)
dejame atado a este amor
(leave me tied to this love)
atado a este amor
(tied to this love)
