Patty Griffin - A Place To Stand

Patty Griffin

A Place To Stand

Here on the inside looking at the outside

losing my memory faster than my pride

Here I am baby, blind as a bat outta hell

Cut me loose of that ball and chain

Packed up a glad bag hopped on a train

to the land of the lonely, as far as I can tell

I was laughing like a fool on fire

candle burning into my hand

sitting like a bird on a wire

I had to find me a place to stand

Here is a man (?) with his poison pen

and his children in armor and frustrated men

and women who don't know why they were sent here at all

You might think think that we'd had our fill

and we'd stand up and fight if we just had the will

if we just had a little more time to love something

We're all laughing like fools on fire

candle burning into our hands

sitting like birds on a wire

I got to find me a place to stand

Foolish heart don't have no rest

from the moment your head leaves your mama's chest

from the moment you hold the child in your hand

from that moment until you find your place to stand

Little bit older, years going by

Squeezing that stone but my word's still dry

Here I am here I am

Laughing like a fool on fire

candle burning into my hand

sitting like a bird on a wire

I had to find me a place to stand

Mirror lyrics:

I had to find me a place to stand

sitting like a bird on a wire

candle burning into my hand

Laughing like a fool on fire

Here I am here I am

Squeezing that stone but my word's still dry

Little bit older, years going by

from that moment until you find your place to stand

from the moment you hold the child in your hand

from the moment your head leaves your mama's chest

Foolish heart don't have no rest

I got to find me a place to stand

sitting like birds on a wire

candle burning into our hands

We're all laughing like fools on fire

if we just had a little more time to love something

and we'd stand up and fight if we just had the will

You might think think that we'd had our fill

and women who don't know why they were sent here at all

and his children in armor and frustrated men

Here is a man (?) with his poison pen

I had to find me a place to stand

sitting like a bird on a wire

candle burning into my hand

I was laughing like a fool on fire

to the land of the lonely, as far as I can tell

Packed up a glad bag hopped on a train

Cut me loose of that ball and chain

Here I am baby, blind as a bat outta hell

losing my memory faster than my pride

Here on the inside looking at the outside
