Patty Griffin - Off you go

Tekst :

Well he broke through the barrier and rode down the
hill
A sound like thunder then everything stood still
Back home the widow wondered where he d gone

In the evening the meadow sings without care
His eyes staring blankly up into the air
The cars far above him kept rolling along

Off you go into the summer
Off you go to the fall
You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder
Suddenly you stop feeling anything at all

Speed and alcohol the papers equated
For the record good judgement was not demonstrated
Rest assured this one was not drug related

Back home the young widow weeps and sighs
Explains to her kids how their daddy died
She closes the door to the room where he used to try

Off you go into the summer
Off you go to the fall
You got tossed between the wicked and the wonder
And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all

Well we all have occasion to slip on the path
Some get to pay for the aftermath
Some won t get another chance
to realize life has an ending

Well the widow moves on as the years progress
Starts her life over but never forgets
Down in the meadow there s darkness descending

Off you go into the summer
Off you go to the fall
You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder

Patty Griffin - Vertigo

Tekst :

I grab a hold of your hand but then we both go tumbling
Tumbling, fallin
We used to makin a stand in the sinkin sand
Aint we darlin ?
No need to make up your mind when it s already made
We got all that we need right here on parade
Welcome to this dance we call ?????
There s something to this dance, somethin to it
We call it vertigo
Just do the best you can do, that you know
Everyday the wind will blow
So don t look down and hang on to it
Vertigo
I take you out for a ride but you re already there
You got the breeze in your hair
You ve been asleep at the wheel
Well here s your wake up call
Beware
You fallen under the wheels of a million dreams
I know how that feels
I know just what you mean
Gettin caught in the wheels of the pagentry
Of a big machine
Can t keep it clean
What do they mean
Oh the vertigo
Just do the best that you can do
That you know
Everyday the wind will blow
So don t look down
Hang on to it
Vertigo
I could be put you on but you d just wear me out
Like a sweater
I could lend you my heart and my soul for a while
That d be better
You ve fallen under the wheels of a million dreams
I know how that feels i know just what you need
Getting caught in the wheels of the pagentry
Of the mystery of the big machine
Can t keep it clean
What do they mean?
Oh the vertigo
Just do the best that you can do
That you know
Everyday the wind will blow
So don t look down
Hang on to it
Vertigo

Patty Griffin - Buck naked heart

Tekst :

It must seem like a million miles away
But that don t mean it is
I sat and I thought, and I thought, of the things I could say
And I just came up with this

Cause honesty is hard to handle
Truth is harder than hell
Is it love or flies to a candle
As years go by it s hard to tell
As years go by it s hard to tell

You re actin like it s nothing, baby
But I don t think I can play that part
When you have looked straight in the eyes
Of my buck naked heart

We were sometimes light so bright it hurt your eyes
And everything, to the touch, feels burned and raw
But folding back into the arms of a lie
Can never change, no never change, those things we saw

I can hardly stand to see you
You re so careful what you say
Do you think you re the only one
Who ever gave something away

You re actin like it s nothing, baby
But I don t think I can play that part
When you have looked straight in the eyes
Of my buck naked heart

Cause honesty is hard to handle
Truth is harder than hell
Is it love or flies to a candle
As years go by it s hard to tell
As years go by it s hard to tell
Years go by, hard to tell, hard to tell

You re actin like it s nothing, baby
But I don t think I can play that part
When you have looked straight in the eyes
Of my buck naked heart

Inne utwory

Losowe utwory

When you were young

Look at the fool you have been
They drained the pool while you drowned in the dream
They bought your beauty and your soul
Then softly sold you back what they stole

So look into the mirror do you recognise someone
Is...

They call the wind Maria

Away out here they ve got a name for rain and wind and fire. The rain is Tess, the fire s Joe. They call the wind Maria.
Maria blows the stars around and sets the clouds a-flyin . Maria makes the mountains sound like folks was out there dyin...

Sprung

Still in bed
Thinking about his kisses
Oh, what a night
What s his name? I think I ll miss him
The smell of eggs
He s cooking in my kitchen
Is he for real?
Gonna make it hard to ditch him

Got me sprung on you
What you tryin to do?
It was supposed to be
Just one...

Four walls

These four walls
They whisper to me
They know secrets
I knew they would not keep
It didn t take long
For the room to fill with dust
And these four walls came down around us

[CHORUS]
It must have been something to send me out of my head
With the words so radical and not what I meant
Now...

Let a boy cry

I pass through noise and silence, I walk alone
It s a beautiful day, it s raining and it s cold
Reflected onto the wet pavement, can you see what I see?
The trembling image of my eyes that are still free
I pass through noise...
