Patty Griffin - Love Throw A Line Lyrics






Let's write a story of a title wave
We run out of luck
We run out of days
We run out of gas
A hundred miles away
From a station

There's a war and a plague
Smoke and disaster
Lions in the coliseum
Screams of laughter
Motherless children
A witness and a bible
Nothing but rain ahead
No chance for our survival

Just before the flood comes
Just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs
Into the valley
Just before my eyes go
Just before we can't go any further
Love throws a line to you and me

I heard someone calling me from very far away
Sister oh sister did I hear them say?
Prisoner of this endless story of pain
You hold the key
Try to find the way

And just before the flood comes
Just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs
Into the valley
Just before my eyes go
Just before it all blows to pieces
Love throws a line to you and me

Love you better pick up your pace
If we're gonna win this race
Love we're running out of time
Pull yourself out from behind

    @lethercry /// Unreal. I just posted a comment to a different vid of Patty and I said the exact same thing, "She could sing a grocery list and I'd be in tears and rapt attention." I thought I was being original and avoiding the cliche "phone book." Oh, well, no thoughts are original. But Patty sure is.

  9. S.... C....

    Great song to practice dobro with... GBDGBD frets 2, 7, 5

    Opening track from her brilliant "Impossible Dream" album. Buy it, you'll never be the same afterwards.

    Anything at all by Patty Griffin must be rated five

    I met Patty in Amsterdam 3 years ago...think about it everyday..she's a great person!!!

  19. l.... ....

    Not well known? She's been nominated for a Grammy no less than 4 times.

  20. t.... ....

    She is one of the best!!!! Check out of her songs. The Rexall Rangers say "Thank You" for letting us upload this song. We don't do the song justice, but give a listen.

    I heard her by accident when I was surfing radio channels while driving - she was singing "Stand for the Ride" - I was SOOOOOOO mesmerized I had to wait to hear what amazing singer was singing this amazing song LONG after I parked my car. I just HAD to know! Now I do know who she is & I can't wait to hear more! does anyone have a video of "Stand for the Ride." ????

  22. i.... ....

    I'nt she just so cool...yes

  23. J.... W....

    Everyone who loves Patty agrees that she isn't exposed to enough people. Such talent deserves to be in the spotlight! I have to admit, I enjoyed her Flaming Red album more than Impossible Dream (though the design was beautifully done), but Love Throw A Line is very unique. Its rock meets gospel with a little New Orleans flavor! Aesthetically this video is quirky and fun to watch.

  24. D.... W....

    Great Video!! I have no idea why Patty is such a recluse! Somehow I think, she thinks, she isn't good looking! I think she looks fine!

    She is from Maine and moved to Texas!

    Wish I could see her more! I have seen her once in Massachusetts and she put on a great performance!!

    I would like to see her record more as well!!!

    Patty, wherever you are, come out and play!!

    Dan~:o)

    One of my favorite Patty Griffin songs of all time, with a superb video treatment.
