Nanci Griffith - The Power Lines lyrics

Nobody seems to care about you

With your tool case by the roadside

There beneath the power lines

Or the pallor of your skin

Paled beneath fluorescent lights

In a Greyhound station's cruel midnight

Where you can't afford the ride

Oh, the power lines

They go from sea to sea

They carry voices

Love from him to me

The power lines you fall beneath

Are the rainbows you can't climb

And you will not climb the power lines

'Cause you are lost beneath the power lines

There's no place that you haven't been

And no place that you call your home

There's no place that you cannot go

With the gift within your hands
Nanci Griffith - The Power Lines - http://motolyrics.com/nanci-griffith/the-power-lines-lyrics.html
And the tools to build another's dream

That connects them to the power lines

You do not feel you need

Oh, the power lines

They go from sea to sea

They carry voices

Love from him to me

The power lines you fall beneath

Are the rainbows you can't climb

And you will not climb the power lines

'Cause you are lost beneath the power lines

Oh, the power lines

They go from sea to sea

They carry voices

Love from him to me

The power lines you fall beneath

Are the rainbows you can't climb

And you will not climb the power lines

'Cause you are lost beneath the power lines
