Patty Griffin, an American singer-songwriter, was born March 16th, 1964 in Old Town, Maine. She brought out her debut album Living With Ghosts--a set of demos featuring only Ms. Griffin and her guitar--to critical acclaim in 1996. Her sophomore album, Flaming Red, demonstrated a more rocking, full-band sound. The ill-fated Silver Bell album was never released by her record label.

Top Of The World Lyrics
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
