Nanci Griffith piosenki

Tequila after midnight Drives loneliness away Makes strangers all around you look familiar And tequila after midnight Makes you feel so warm Makes you think you feel good when you don't It's the same sad familiar story Nothing about it's new Just about someon...

Every prayer that I'm not praying, and every promise I'm betraying Every price that I am paying, is like a ghost inside of me Every road I could be taking, every dream I am forsaking Every heart that's out there breaking, is like a ghost inside of me Look aro...

Oh, he said it was the sound of the winter callin' From up around the bend Or it could be the cry of your restless heart For the love of your long lost friends Me, I think it's just the summertime and the heat of these Texas winds They keep on slappin' my face...

They were the loving kind She was black and he was white In Virginia nineteen fifty-eight They found love amongst the hate Well the law said they could not wed They married anyway The sheriff put them both in jail Separated 'till they made their bail They ch...

Nobody seems to care about you With your tool case by the roadside There beneath the power lines Or the pallor of your skin Paled beneath fluorescent lights In a Greyhound station's cruel midnight Where you can't afford the ride [Chorus:] Oh, the power lines...

I sold the farm to take my woman Where she longed to be We left our kin and all our friends Back there in Tennessee I bought the one way tickets She had often begged me for And they took us to The streets of Baltimore Well, my heart was filled with laughter...

The wing and the wheel, they carry things away Whether it's me that does the leavin or the love that flies away The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight Oh, there's a chunk out of it's middle, big enough for an old fool to hide Where are all the drea...

There's a light beyond these woods, Mary Margaret. Do you think that we will go there, And see what makes it shine, Mary Margaret? It's almost morning, and we've talked all night, You know we've made big plans for ten-year-olds, You and I. Have you met my new...

Shut it down and call this road a day And put this silence in my heart in a better place I have traveled with your ghost now so many years That I see you in the shadows In hotel rooms and headlights You're coming up beside me Whether it's day or night [Chorus...

This house is full of memories that aren't mine Pieces, I thought I would clear out over time Life takes over, I get ahead of myself I turn around and I've filled up the shelf With things I don't need that weigh me down Things I don't want but still keep arou...

This heart was almost taken This heart had a love of its own This heart was reawakened When you came along This heart was born feet runnin' This heart saw your porch light on This heart hit the sidewalk wonderin' Why you left it on [Chorus:] This heart was st...

This old town should've burned down in 1929 That's when we stood in line Waiting for our soup Swallowing our pride This old town should've burned down in 1931 When the rain refused to come Air filled up our bellies, dust filled up our lungs And we thought our...

We returned to that five room flat Now it was empty and this the last time There were blinking pictures Of how we'd sit and chat Some of them are scattered Others shattered in my mind It was always three flights up Cathedral bells kept time In the winter, a...

Oh the grace that true love holds when hearts grow weary for Time alone You give it room and the warm to hold And it'll always come home True love is faithful all on it's own Hearts know when they should fly alone When the mind is rested and the heart's at ea...

We're living in a time of inconvenience Compassion fails me with this meanness in the air Our city streets are filled with violence So we close our doors to the city And pretend that it's not there Here I go again Back out on these mean streets The evil seems...

Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown Tonight I think I'm gonna look around For something that I couldn't see When this world was more real to me Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown My love, my love has gone away My love, my love what can I say My love woul...

So close yet so far away Of all the things I'd hoped to say Will have to go unsaid today Perhaps until tomorrow Your fears have built a wall between Our lives and all that lovin' means Will have to go unfelt it seems Leavin' only sorrow You built you...

Nothing that I've ever seen, Now means much of anything, In traveling through this part of you. And the Vietnam that I had dreamed, The place you wore your life 'fatigued', I'm traveling through this part of you Where are you amongst the madness, On the stre...

Baby I know that we've got trouble in the fields When the bankers swarm like locust out there turning away our yield The trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain They leave our pockets full of nothing But our dreams and the golden grain Have you seen the...

I worked hard for that rose You may have it when you go 'Cause it's the dreaming it lends Worth holding here And when the outbound lane brings me trouble again If my heart's in the wind I wanna hold it near [Chorus:] Don't say no, it's not part of this show W...
