Patty Griffin - Love Throws 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
