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, hundred miles away
From a station

There's a war and a plague yeah, smoke and disaster
Lions in the coliseum, screams of a 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

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
You 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

On you and me
On you and me
On 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

Love throw a line
Love throw a line
Love throw a line
