Griffin, Patty - 250,000 Miles Lyrics
Oh, where is the daughter that I carried?
Gone to where the desert meets the sea
Far from where our family’s bones are buried
Where mother moon walks arm in arm with me
She paints the toes, prepares a stranger’s tea
What came before she must forget or bury
Or carry deep inside her silently
The red lipstick faces in the alleys
Their echoes and their shadows wind and wind
My daughter lives in still a deeper valley
And I fear I am running out of time
Oh, where is the daughter that I carried?
While mother moon hangs silently but is waiting
Two hundred fifty thousand miles away
Two hundred fifty thousand miles away

PATTY GRIFFIN LYRICS
"250,000 Miles"
Oh, where is the daughter that I carried?
Gone to where the desert meets the sea
Far from where our family’s bones are buried
Where mother moon walks arm in arm with me
A lady’s maid for ladies who are waiting
She paints the toes, prepares a stranger’s tea
What came before she must forget or bury
Or carry deep inside her silently
The red lipstick faces in the alleys
Their echoes and their shadows wind and wind
My daughter lives in still a deeper valley
And I fear I am running out of time
Oh, where is the daughter that I carried?
Gone to where the fears of men obey
While mother moon hangs silently but is waiting
Two hundred fifty thousand miles away
Two hundred fifty thousand miles away
Saw her/them last night at the Duke Energy Center for Performing Arts in NC.
Sometimes the air in the room was so brittle, it seemed like it would break like cheap glass.
It was an Amazing show!
It is no dirty-energy anthem, for sure.
You'll be hard-pressed to find a piece of music that is as beautiful and haunting as this song. Patty Griffin and Shawn Colvin's harmonizing on this cut has likely been gathered up by the gods and taken to an eternal place--beyond the reach of confused and fickle human beings.
Stephen Eccles wow I can’t believe I just read something so beautiful on You Tube .
This is one of the most unique songs with a beautiful track and voice I had to look it up.
+Cindy Reed Patty is certainly unique. I don't think anyone else is putting out music this consistently excellent right now.
Heard this on the coffee house on XM, thanks for uploading it!
