Patty Griffin - Love Throws a Line lyrics

Let's write a story of a tidal 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 and 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 No 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 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 We see love throw a line to you and me Love throw a line Love throw a line Love throw a line Love throw a line Love, you better pick up your pace If we're going to win this race Love, we're running out of time Pull yourself up from behind Love throw a line Love throw a line Love throw a line Love throw a line
