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
