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 - Time will do the talking

Tekst :

You were so cruel
I hated being your fool
So I got a little bit more mud on my face
But the years will bring a bigger scheme of things
And make a pretty memory out of my disgrace
I don t believe there is such a thing as saying too much
There are those who like to look and
Those who ain t afraid to touch

Oh baby don t you know that the
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
I ll just find a comfy spot and wait it out
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can t hear now

Well we dig our heels in
And wonder who s gonna win
Who is gonna win it or wear it out
I change the lock on the door
Or learn how to take a little more
I can outrun all of the devils there
But never the doubt
Try not to throw all your money into 20/20 vision
For the world won t wait on politics or indecision

Oh baby don t you know that the
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
I ll just find a comfy spot and wait it out
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can t hear now

Can you hear the voice inside you
It calls you back to where you belong
Can you see the one beside you
Who s been standin there all along
Baby, well you were so cruel
I hated being your fool
So I got a little bit more
Mud on my face
But the years will bring
The bigger scheme of things
And make a pretty memory out of my disgrace

The time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
I ll just find a comfy spot and wait it out
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can t hear now
Time will tell you baby what you can t hear now
Time will tell you baby what you can t hear now

Patty Griffin - Every little bit

Tekst :

It s funny how a morning turns a love to shame
Disguised and disfigured and you thought I tasted like rain
There`s nothing here but a shadow nothin here
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
There s nothin here but the shadow, and now you know

I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
and I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I m sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit

I can chew like a cannibal
I can yell like a cat
I even had you believing that I really really like it like that
But there was never a moment
Not a moment
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
You ever got within a hundred million miles of my soul

I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
And I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I m sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit

You left open the window till the morning
And the winter walked in
Reality fired her wooden bullet
Splintered under our skin
They say I m walking on freedom
This is freedom
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
I still don t blame you for leaving,baby
It s cold living with ghosts

I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
and I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I m sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
