Patty Griffin Lyrics

6. Top Of The World

I wished I was smarter 
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way the my wife does

I wished it'd been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could've stood
Where you would've been proud
That won't happen now
That won't happen now

There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And she's never gonna fly 
To the top of the world Now
To the top of the world

I don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no god to
Teach me no lessons

I come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up 
I stayed right there 
In my chair

There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day 
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I think I broke the wings
Off a little songbird 
And she's never gonna fly 
To the top of the world 
Now
To the top of the world

I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I 
Was on the side
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why

Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day 
Without so much as a word
Somehow?

Gonna grab a hold
Of that little songbird 
And take her for a ride 
To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world
