Prayer In Open D (Live)

Prayer In Open D (Live) - Patty Griffin

Written by：Emmylou Harris

There's a valley of sorrow in my soul

Where every night I listen the thunder roll

Like the sound of a distant gun

Over all the damage I have done

And the shadows was filling up this land

Are the ones I built with my own hand

There is no comfort from the cold

Of this valley of sorrow in my soul

There's a river of darkness in my blood

And through every evil I feel the flood

There's no bridge for me to 'crossed

No way to bring back what is lost

Into the night it soon will sweep

Down where all my grievances I keep

But it won't wash away the years

Or one single hard and bitter tear

And the rock of ages I have known

Is a weariness down to the bone

I use to ride it like a rolling stone

I just just carry it alone

There's a highway risin' from my dreams

Deep in the heart I know it gleams

For I have seen it stretching wide

Clear across to the other side

Beyond the river and the flood

And the valley where so long I've stood

With the rock of ages in my bones

One day I know it will lead me home

Ohh ohh ohh

Ohhh ohhh ohhhh
