Patty Griffin - A Place To Stand Lyrics
Here on the inside looking at the outsidelosing my memory faster than my prideHere I am baby, blind as a bat outta hellCut me loose of that ball and chainPacked up a glad bag hopped on a trainto the land of the lonely, as far as I can tellI was laughing like a fool on firecandle burning into my handsitting like a bird on a wireI had to find me a place to standHere is a man (?) with his poison penand his children in armor and frustrated menand women who don't know why they were sent here at allYou might think think that we'd had our filland we'd stand up and fight if we just had the willif we just had a little more time to love somethingWe're all laughing like fools on firecandle burning into our handssitting like birds on a wireI got to find me a place to standFoolish heart don't have no restfrom the moment your head leaves your mama's chestfrom the moment you hold the child in your handfrom that moment until you find your place to standLittle bit older, years going bySqueezing that stone but my word's still dryHere I am here I amLaughing like a fool on firecandle burning into my handsitting like a bird on a wireI had to find me a place to stand
