Nanci Griffith piosenki

While I was out a-ridin' The graveyard shift midnight till dawn The moon was as bright as a reading light For a letter from an old friend back home [Chorus] He asked me Why do you ride for your money? Why do you rope for short pay? You ain't gettin' n...

Something's disturbed me I'm out of your company I'm Out of the country With another man's heart I'm angered and doubtful And I'd shout an earful But nothing comes out When I open my mouth [Chorus:] I'm nobody's angel now (she's out of the country now) Nobody...

What the hell was I doing there In that fast-food parking lot They say I robbed the restaurant and a Memphis cop got shot I was trying to feed my habit I was scared and I was high It was never my intention That anyone should die Just how many of us are innoce...

I know you believe in miracles That this love will come back around I know you believe the grass is growing Across this winter To the south of this town I know your kiss is sweeter Than the dust that this love has become Yet, I know your path is clearer Shed...

I'm gonna open up the window and let in October And roll up my sleeves in the rain Roll out on the freeway with a heart a little harder Breezes gettin' cooler by the day 5 a.m. travelers, bleary eyed and lonely We're all countin' miles and tradin' lanes But i...

Where are all the Satchel Boys Selling books outside the Metripole? Books to read in English, books of light and sorrows Of this foreign land and they are gone and they've flown away Where are all the cyclos With their drivers pedaling grace? Crowded out by m...

On Grafton Street at Christmas time The elbows push you 'round This is not my place of memories I'm a stranger in this town The faces seem familiar And I know those songs they're playin' But I close my eyes and find myself Five thousand miles away [Chorus:] I...

I found your letter in my mailbox today You were just checkin' if I was okay And if I still miss you Well you know what they say [Chorus:] Just once in a very blue moon Just once in a very blue moon Just once in a very blue moon And I feel one comin' on soon...

You honk the horn on your Mercedes Benz I've rolled up my window so you're honkin' again Your stereo could drive the devil out Hey, you drink too much and you talk too loud But you think you got it made Think you got it made Think you got it made When you're o...

We walk along the Hudson when it snows here in Manhattan Seems we've lived our lives so out of place You touch my cheek and I do wonder how this happened That two young lovers could pack their dreams and move from the Texas Plains [Chorus:] Oh, I'm gonna take...

I don't wanna be standing here With this ticket for this outbound plane Oh, I've been here before Somehow this doesn't feel the same Talk is cheap So we could talk all night long And we may never figure out just Where your love went wrong [Chorus:] 'Cause I d...

She was a party girl Now the party's over she was a beauty And that's changing too Now she's barefoot and having babies She was a party girl Now the party's over Now her husband watches TV After working hard all day And she's crying into her pillow 'cause it'...

The evening fell just like a star Left a trail behind You spit as you slammed Out the door If this is love we're crazy As we fight like cats and dogs I just know There's got to be more So please call me, baby Wherever you are It's too cold to be Out walking...

Goodbye gray sky I see my heart comin' round the bend The sun's comin' up on the Poet In My Window Her saving grace is my old friend I'll never lose if my heart goes flyin' If I sail it true and set it free It'll come flyin' home Be waitin' in my window Calli...

Pour me a drink Light me a cigarette Help me forget The things that I've done Pour me a drink Then pour me another one To keep out this cold wind That blows through my soul Look at my life Here in these photographs Look at these faces What a story they tell T...

We all said you'd never make it Cause you had that fragile heart And you were odd within the ways of the social You through a caution to us all And now when the late night drinkers gather for their falls Someone says they've seen you out there laughing at us a...

[Chorus:] Ride the blue wind high and free She'll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come time to go Alone and low as low can be If I had a nickel I'd find a game If I won a dollar I'd make it rain If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry And lay me do...

I'll never fall in love again It's such a contradiction To lose all control and common sense And even intuition You came along, with a strange new song And the sweetest innovation And you said, "One should never fall in love But rise to the occasion" To have l...

He still sends her roses on the 4th of July. They're always white roses, she's never asked why. She still doesn't know where he goes, Thursday nights. But his wedding band rests, On their bedside that night. He was a soldier in the Vietnam war. He lost half...

Oh, the night was clear and the stars were shinin' and the moon came up,... so quiet in the sky And all the people gathered round while the band was a-tunin' I can hear them now ... playin' 'Comin' Through the Rye' She was dressed in blue and she looked so lov...
