Little Fire - Patty Griffin with Emmylou Harris Live 2010

Written by Patty Griffin. Harmony vocals by Emmylou Harris.
Lyrics:
My friend, come stand beside me
Lately, I'm feeling so lost
A flood came and washed the stones of the path away
And a hot sun turned the mud to dust
Calling the sheep in for the evening
There's a voice, calls above the howling wind
It says come rest beside my little fire
We'll ride out the storm that's coming in
My friend, you know me and my family
You've seen us wandering through these times
You've seen us in weakness and in power
You've seen us forgetful and unkind
All that I want is one who knows me
A kind hand on my face when I weep
And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless
For a little fire beside me when I sleep
All that I want is one who knows me
A kind hand on my face when I weep
And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless
For a little fire beside me when I sleep

Can't get any prettier than those two angels.

I had the pleasure of seeing Emmylou, Patty, Dave Matthews, Bud and Julie Miller at Austin City Limits, 1999, or 2000. A songwriters collaboration, they all took turns sharing their original songs, supported by each other’s musical accompaniment. It was a stunning array of talent, free of egos, celebrating friendship and musical appreciation of each others gifts.

Emmylou and Patty together...angels do descend from Heaven with a song to lead us from the dark in time to reason and find the joy of this life...

If you hear that Patty, Buddy, and Emmylou will be appearing on a stage anywhere even kinda close to where you live, go get a ticket right quick.

@joechill1888 What ignorance.

[@ossian7]

Love this but lose that mandolin about 3:30 in--very annoying and inappropriate.

[@joechill1888]

'church'!!!!! for real? There is no god, so leave the vunerable people alone ( yes you guys) . Otherwise a beutiful tune

Live life a little more and see if you don't choose to believe, once you've been worn thin by life. There's a beacon there, for everyone, when they need it.
