Top of The World — текст песни (Patty Griffin)

I wished I was smarter

Wished I was stronger

I wished I loved jesus

The way the my wife does



I wished itd been easier

Instead of any longer

I wished I couldve stood

Where you wouldve been proud

That wont happen now

That wont happen now



Theres a whole lot of sinners

That aint gonna be heard

Disppearing every day

Without so much as a word

Somehow



Im afraid I broke the wings

Off that little songbird

And shes never gonna fly

To the top of the world how

To the top of the world



I dont have to answer

Any of these questions

Dont have no guide 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



Theres a whole lot of singing

That aint gonna be heard

Disappearing every day

Without so much as a word

Somehow



I think I broke the wings

Off a little songbird

And shes never gonna fly

To the top of the world

How

To the top of the world



I wished Id had known you

Wished I had shown you

All of the things i

Was all these are

But Id pretend to be sleeping

When youd come in in the morning

To whisper goodbye

Go work at the rain

I dont know why

Dont know why



Cause everyones singing

We just wanna be heard

Disappearing every day

Without so much as a word

So how?



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
