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 stationThere'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 survivalJust 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 meI 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 wayAnd 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 meLove throw a line
Love throw a line
Love throw a line

Love throw a lineOn you and me
On you and me
On you and meLove you better pick up your pace
If we're gonna win this race
Love we're running out of time
Pull yourself out from behindLove throw a line
Love throw a line
Love throw a line

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Patty Griffin, born Patricia Jean Griffin, March 16th, 1964 in Old Town, Maine, is an American folk singer.

She brought out her debut album Living With Ghosts--a set of demos featuring only Ms. Griffin and her guitar--to critical acclaim in 1996. Her sophomore album, Flaming Red, demonstrated a more rocking, full-band sound. The ill-fated Silver Bell album was never released by her record label, however, and the label terminated her recording contract shortly after that. Many of the songs from Silver Bell were re-recorded for subsequent albums.
After switching to ATO Records Griffin brought out 3 albums in rapid succession: 1000 Kisses and Impossible Dream, which were both nominated for Grammy awards, and A Kiss In Time, a well-received live album. In March 2007, she released Children Running Through to great critical acclaim.

She has penned a wide variety of songs - Long Ride Home, Top of the World, Tony, Forgiveness, Chief, Mad Mission--that touch her listeners deeply. A number of high profile artists have covered Patty's songs, including the Dixie Chicks, Bette Midler, Emmylou Harris, The Wreckers, Solomon Burke and pop star Kelly Clarkson; these have brought her exposure in the more mainstream pop and country worlds outside of folk music circles. Upon hearing Solomon Burke's cover of one of her tunes, she said she almost didn't feel worthy of singing it anymore.

Following her collaboration with Mavis Staples on a tune for a compilation album Peter York, suggested Griffin make an album of gospel songs. Griffin agreed on the condition that Buddy Miller, a friend and bandmate, produced the record. Downtown Church was recorded at the Downtown Presbyterian Church in Nashville with a 2010 release date. The album features long-time friends Buddy and Julie Miller, as well as Shawn Colvin and Emmylou Harris. It also includes songs by Hank Williams, Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton, and "All Creatures of Our God and King," a song accredited to St. Francis of Assisi.
