Griffin, Patty - Little Fire Lyrics






My friend, come stand beside me
Lately, I'm feeling so lost
A flood came and washed the stones of the path away
And a hot sun turned the mud to dust

Calling the sheep in for the evening
There's a voice, calls above the howling wind
It says comes rest beside my little fire
We'll ride out the storm that's coming in

My friend, you know me and my family
You've seen us wandering through these times
You've seen us in weakness and in power
You've seen us forgetful and unkind

All that I want is one who knows me
A kind hand on my face when I weep
And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless
For a little fire beside me when I sleep

All that I want is one who knows me
A kind hand on my face when I weep
And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless
For a little fire beside me when I sleep

    Very good song. I heard it on NPR on the way home from work. I was hit right in the feels.

  4. J.... M....

    This song is so beautiful.

  5. M.... ....

    This song touches me deeply and I'm not even sure why.

  6. J.... a....

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............so lovely

  7. L.... D....

    She's an angel who touches my heart with her songs. I could listen to her all day and Emmylou's voice melds with hers so well.

  8. 2.... ....

    She is sooooo good!!

  9. r.... ....

    Very very nice Patty..great video.

    @lizzyvance W/ Clinton in the Whitehouse we had a budget surplus. Dick Cheney and Richard Pearle manipulated inteligence on Iraq to make case for war and W. Bush was so predisposed to that outcome he could hear no other facts. Bush said we didn't have to include Iraq and Afganistan wars in budget because they were "1-off" expenditures and we are 4 trillion in the hole as a result. Those are facts, not bias. Do dems deserve credit for other fiascos? Sure, but all else pales in comparison.

    @jserra17
    I never said republicans were not a part of it. Democrats were to. Some democrats voted to go to war you can’t blame all that on Republicans. Democrats were also in control of congress for a while. Obama has spent a lot of money to. How is he different? It’s obvious your just bias.

  12. j.... ....

    @lizzyvance You know, its just these facts that keep staring me in the face. War and healthcare are bankrupting our country. In 2007 a Pentagon study estimated the full cost of the Iraq war at $3 trillion. Add another trillion since then and you are looking at 1/3 of our total national debt. In 1993 Clinton tried to introduce market based reforms to healthcare. In 2008 Obama tried to do the same by having a government option. Republicans killed both and have never offered an alternative.

  13. L.... d....

    @jserra17
    Democrats and Republicans ruined us. Stop being so bias.

  14. J.... B....

    beautiful song!!!

  15. F.... F....

    why the f is there a kesha advertisment violating the border of this video?? what does she have to do with music?

  16. j.... ....

    It just doesn't get any better than this.

  17. j.... ....

    @SkeeterNYC Skeeter, I agree with you. But this is the same country that voted to put the Republicans back in power only two years after they wrecked our economy and while their investment banker friends were still counting our money. As PT Barnum once put it, "no one ever went broke under estimating the IQ of the American public."

  18. b.... ....

    Supremely awesome video and song... according to me :)

  19. E.... E....

    @ajh909 I kept thinking that looked like Buddy Miller. Thanks for confirming that my eyes weren't deceiving me. This is sublime stuff.

  20. J.... D....

    Patty Griffin ...... your gift to this world is immense. Love, light & Peace JDxxx

  21. A.... J....

    @loveme2times72 hey thanks for this.. i heard the song.. its not that one. if you watch the film. there a scene when both Natehn and Roy are coming back from the lake after swimming. the song is playing on the radio on the way back. i so wantto know where i can find it haha

  22. l.... ....

    I don't know if it's the same song as the one in the trailer, but the trailer song is called "You Will Remember" by Patty Griffin. It's on her Children Running Through album which was the one prior to this one.

  23. A.... J....

    okay does anyone have the song of pattty griffin from the movie "DREAM BOY" there is a song when both of the boys are in the car its playing on the radio.??????

  24. S.... ....

    I thought she already was a huge (not "hugh") star! :-)

  25. m.... ....

    Agreed!

  26. a.... h....

    Just bought this CD and am loving it. What a sweet melodic voice, and Buddy Miller producing with Emmylou Harris' harmony...wow. I love the duet with Julie too. This is one sweet bit of music from front to back. THANKYOU!

  27. s.... ....

    Some people don't have much money. That doesn't make them, "losers".

  28. T.... ....

    She has no control over that... The record label has the right to restrict or allow the 'sharing' of videos how they see fit. Too bad most labels are becoming greedy and short-sighted, so they want to make the good, loyal fans have to pay for every little bit we can to make up for all the losers that just download the media and don't care about the art and the time it took to create it. Greed hurts everyone, but the greedy don't care.

  29. c.... s....

    Just bought the album this morning. I love it all...but this one is my favorite.
    Wonderful! How lucky to be alive when such music is made.

  30. S.... N....

    If Patty doesn't become a hugh star after this album, the people in this country must be really fucking out of it.

  31. c.... h....

    i love this. collaborate with me? haha. i can't wait for this album, you are awesome.
