I have no idea why after 17 years of being the biggest Patty fan, I’m just now falling in love with this song so much. Just shows diving into older CDs hits you in different places as you age and life changes.
@@kevinrobbins5862 my mother in the last 3 years before I left my parents house the first time made our front door an almost turquoise shade of blue,,,,
Wrote a whole book of poetry drunk every night on this song + the others on this album in 2012 while my wife was sick with cancer.. Gave it to Her (PG) one lucky night live in Portland Oregon during her first tour after recovering from her own cancer when I had to fight so hard to get the book to her through all the layers that surrounded her on tour.. Hope she knows how much I owe and love her for the height of my art, Miss songbird. No one else like you in the world! No one. No one. We're alive in the world, and it is a much more wonderful place with you in it. Your greatest song. GS
OMG...the very beauty of life is found in the voice and songs of Patty Griffin...the highs...the lows...the places where only God knows...they're all in the songs Patty knows...
Possibly my favourite Patty song...there are many treasures from this enchanting writer/performer so favourite is difficult...just tell me how this lovely American woman can see inside my male British heart?
Lyrics Say goodbye to the old street That never cared much for you anyway The different colored doorways You thought would let you in one day Goodbye to the old bus stop Frozen and waiting Weekend edition has this town way overrated Walk across the baseball green The grass has turned to straw A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend I can't make you stay I can't spend another ten years Wishing you would anyway How the sky turns to fire Against the telephone wire And even I'm getting tired Of useless desires Every day I take a bitter pill It gets me on my way For the little aches and pains The ones I have from day to day To help me think a little less about the things I miss To help me not to wonder how I ended up like this Walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train With a million other faces, I shoot through the city veins Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend You wanted to be free Somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I wanna be How the sky turns to fire Against the telephone wire And even I'm getting tired Of useless desires Say goodbye to the old building That never tried to know your name Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend You won't be seeing me again Goodbye to all the window panes Shining in the sun Like diamonds on a winter day Goodbye, goodbye to everyone How the sky turns to fire Against the telephone wire It burns the last of the day down And I'm the last one hanging around Waiting on a train track And the train never comes back And even I'm getting tired Of useless desires
I am about to leave Austin, TX after moving here in 1999 and still feeling like I never made any roots or lasting friendships/family here. This song perfectly defines my current state of mind.
Igloo Zoo I moved from Austin, (in 2005), after living there for 35 years..most of which held lots of wonderful memories. But in the last few years everything about my life changed. I suffered losses of all kinds .the last year there was my feeling very alone and literally without any person who had been a true friend, as those had all ended up saying their "Goodbyes" to Austin! 😥 But I still loved Austin dearly, the city itself, and was so sad to leave, to say Goodbye. I feel sad for you, that after 23 years in Austin, you say you didn't feel truly connected enough to put down real roots. 😞 I, thewoman who misses the Austin she loved, (even though the city has changed dramatically since 2005!), and my more optimistic, romantic, side hopes that something will turn around, for you, and you'll find a reason to give Austin one more chance. Best of Luck to you. 💟
@@rosemarywaldron497 Well I am still here. I was at the Domain in North Austin couple weeks ago and I walked past this stylish short silver hair lady and made eye contact and walked by and I did a double take and looked back and realized it was Patty. This is the 2nd time I passed by Patty one other time on Town Lake years ago. Since she was alone, I didn't feel right to approach her.
@@igloozoo3771 Wow! How wonderful 💖and serendipitous! 🙌 That was thoughtful of you to think of Patty's privacy. Still..if such happens another time, take a chance , and maybe let her know that you are moved by her music. 🤞🎶💖
What a voice! Just discovered it on my itunes and been playing it all day long , sharing it with friends who've never heard of her. They are all stunned by this performance, especially the way the musicians are enjoying themselves in the background, coming in with perfect timing and delivering fantastic solos and riffs. This is my idea of heaven.
I searched for this performance online since I first saw it in 2005 (on PBS). This is the most inspired and inspiring performance ever on ACL. Didn't know who she was at the time but I quickly found out. Huge fan with all her CDs, DVDs, and saw her live. Thank you so much for finally posting this "lost" video of an all time great performance.
This is on endless repeat today. Her voice, lyrics, guitar and her band are the definition of transcendence for me. I just can’t get enough. Patti you are perfection ⭐️🙌⭐️💫💫
My desire for a family is useless and I throw away and my desire to experience romantic love is useless and I throw that dream away. My mommy said that I am a disabled woman and no one is ever going to understand what happened to me about my Owie from the 1970s and I love her and I love you and I believe my mommy. I realized that my disabilities are not my fault and no one cares about me and no one cares because of the false accusations about me and I only became aware of the false accusations about me in 2022. That's why I felt ok because my child was in foster care and I knew how much lives I saved and appreciated the good works I was able to do with God and that was my best understanding. I missed my family and my son and my sister every day ❤️. I grew up with my disabilities and my lead poisoning and I'm a disabled woman and a idiot savant woman and I never knew anything else about life. Only Christmas music and dolls and my favorite movie was sounds if music and the Muppets and wizard of Oz. Im sorry for being in love with you and thinking you love me too I had no idea. Much love, Mari.
please remember l loved ubtoo much donato- even with this song that you didn’t quite get. but you died. when i hear patty sometimes i die a bit again. you went up to that mountain hun sushi purple indeed
Could not beg into a more appropriate, willing and inherited render for my musical lyricisms: I would love to sing with her on these…well, I do actually
I’ve never been offered a $dollar for any of the several storylines I wrote, like this one, rendered by Patti, that doesn’t exclude the gratification I do get…
It is MYSTERIOUS who this prolific song broker is getting all these storylines from my portfolio to so many well known artists…time to peruse the credits on the marketable CD’s albums, etc

If you are able, please post Mil Besos from the same performance (May 24, 2004). I looked in your 1000 Kisses compilations and can't find it. That performance of Mil Besos is her absolute best. Thanks!
Soooo underrated! Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, she’s right up there.
Even Dylan stole one from me…unbelievable guile
I wrote this from ingenuity…?…I swear I’d take it all back for a duet with Patti
…maybe Not just one…It’s Not Dark Yet for example although the smuggler is as yet unidentified
A silent magnanimity, how hard is it to upstage the corporate Dylantism
My renderers are the hardest working of the hardest workers in this industry…not sure why that is a quality of success in the music arena ?
This wonderful song came out 20yrs ago and here we have few like and comments. We are doomed as a society
I have no idea why after 17 years of being the biggest Patty fan, I’m just now falling in love with this song so much. Just shows diving into older CDs hits you in different places as you age and life changes.
Are you sure it’s 17 years since release ?
17 years since I’ve seen this late at night and fell in love with it :)
It's amazing poetry as well.

Wonderfully expressed!
Pattt conveys feelings, emotions so poignantly, and perfectly!
I wrote this and several others of Patti’s, I take quite the gratuity from your meaning
Quite selflessly I will add
The ‘sky turns to fire’ is annotative wifi world and that disembarkation from so much that was traditional

David Parnell: So well said.
David Parnell..
So beautifully, and perfectly expressed about Patty and her songs! 💟
Some of the best lonely night driving music you will ever find.
best. breakup. song. ever. written.
She's so underrated! I LOVE her!
She's exactly where she needs to be.
❤️❤️
Not by you and not by me and certainly not by God. Does anyone else matter?
This women blows away most of the female artist who are playing these arenas for the kiddies. Love this.
Taylor will, as she matures
Possibly my favourite Patty song...there are many treasures from this enchanting writer/performer so favourite is difficult...just tell me how this lovely American woman can see inside my male British heart?
❣️
My personal favorite is RAIN.
What a song , wow
Thanks
Thanks
You know when you have an amazing artist when they are on every musicians playlist!
That girl builds a melody, sits right in the middle of it, and rides. So nice.
This song is just incredible. The first time I heard it I just stopped what I was doing.. I still do that.
An instant masterpiece. I saw this on Austin City Limits, and it's by far my favorite Patty Griffin song. What a great performance, too!
I feel so inadequate after watching creativity and talent this video conveys,so heart touching.
This is beautiful and lasting art. It rips my guts to shreds in the best possible way.
My God, this is an absolutely beautiful song! It literally overwhelms me.
We are all full of useless desires
Fabulous fabulous delightful gorgeous Patty Griffin....a diamond on the soul of humankind
"Goodbye goodbye goodbye, old friend; you won't be seein' me again"
This shit cuts DEEP
Lyrics
Say goodbye to the old street
That never cared much for you anyway
The different colored doorways
You thought would let you in one day
Goodbye to the old bus stop
Frozen and waiting
Weekend edition has this town way overrated
Walk across the baseball green
The grass has turned to straw
A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend
I can't make you stay
I can't spend another ten years
Wishing you would anyway
How the sky turns to fire
Against the telephone wire
And even I'm getting tired
Of useless desires
Every day I take a bitter pill
It gets me on my way
For the little aches and pains
The ones I have from day to day
To help me think a little less about the things I miss
To help me not to wonder how I ended up like this
Walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train
With a million other faces, I shoot through the city veins
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend
You wanted to be free
Somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I wanna be
How the sky turns to fire
Against the telephone wire
And even I'm getting tired
Of useless desires
Say goodbye to the old building
That never tried to know your name
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend
You won't be seeing me again
Goodbye to all the window panes
Shining in the sun
Like diamonds on a winter day
Goodbye, goodbye to everyone
How the sky turns to fire
Against the telephone wire
It burns the last of the day down
And I'm the last one hanging around
Waiting on a train track
And the train never comes back
And even I'm getting tired
Of useless desires
“Just like a telephone wire”
What a gift God gave us all with Patty. Thank you Lord.
I am about to leave Austin, TX after moving here in 1999 and still feeling like I never made any roots or lasting friendships/family here. This song perfectly defines my current state of mind.

What a talented singer, songwriter & performer Patty Griffin is, she is different class
Saw her at the Orpheum in Boston and it was so obvious that we were seeing a rare, exceptional talent. One of those shows you just didn’t want to end.
What a voice! Just discovered it on my itunes and been playing it all day long , sharing it with friends who've never heard of her. They are all stunned by this performance, especially the way the musicians are enjoying themselves in the background, coming in with perfect timing and delivering fantastic solos and riffs.
This is my idea of heaven.
You and your friends have good taste :)
Another of my favorites is When It Don't Come Easy.

I'm a fan of Lisa Germano. I love her so much.
Omg, she sounds so good live! I just freaking love her!
Beautiful song!
Another great song from Patty Griffin. I went to high school with Lisa Germano. We were in orchestra for two years.
This is on endless repeat today. Her voice, lyrics, guitar and her band are the definition of transcendence for me. I just can’t get enough. Patti you are perfection ⭐️🙌⭐️💫💫
Love Patty and Lisa Germano (on violin)!
I love this song!!❤️ she is absolutely so underrated!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️
Thanks
@Lacey Facchinei Did you mean you "have loved" her as opposed to "hate loved"?
@@pattygriffin3232 I've been trying to figure out who the bass player on this tour was since 2004. Please put me out of my misery!

If elfin peoples had a Madonna, she would look like Patti Griffin. Her voice is so crystalline. Such gorgeous melancholy.
❤
Patty has such a unique voice and I am so happy she popped up on my youtube one day ..see it does work .
An American poet.......
She is from a different world.
Some day ♥️
Achingly beautiful melody flowing through the backwaters of the soul….just gorgeous ✌️
Sublime Patty Griffin! Hermosa canción y voz inconfundible!

Just Love this song
I remember seeing this performance on Austin City Limits years ago. Seems like it was yesterday. Song instantly stuck in my head. I love this song.
Dear Patty
Recently discovered your music. WOW , I look forward to seein you live.
This is the first song of hers that I heard... she was on Austin City Limits...❤️
she is wondeful
I mean... This is so good...
My desires useless too
please remember l loved ubtoo much donato- even with this song that you didn’t quite get. but you died. when i hear patty sometimes i die a bit again. you went up to that mountain hun sushi purple indeed
Unlike the weekend edition of that town she is not overrated at all.
Splindid, moving
My storylines look so damned good on Patti
Could not beg into a more appropriate, willing and inherited render for my musical lyricisms: I would love to sing with her on these…well, I do actually

Shawn Callie Arthur
Erin's Kiss
I kissed Erin last night
you know
the Goddess of Ireland
blessings she did bestow
I know it’s hard to believe
I kissed her full on the lips three times
and I did receive
a fourth for good luck
for infinite rhymes
courage and pluck
she led me to the place
with whispers through the ether
for to endow me with a garland of grace
being destined to love her
and to know well her face
all I did was to inter
the trash left around her shrine
in America
she could not alone be mine
she made it clear
but she would make my words shine
many soldiers and poets have her ear
Lyre the angel was to her left
his foot was extended
for those of faith and hope not bereft
and so he lifted me above the dead
on her right was a soldier keeping watch
the angel let me kneel on his knee
while I reached across
all rein was set free
with the sign of the cross
and a kiss from her lips
during the second kiss
she granted eternal cosmic trips
to know my twin soul and infinite bliss
she said I’d be an Irish rover
sacred love came with a third kiss
then I kissed her all over
she promised me a ring
the fourth was for good fortunes
endless words
protection and tunes
to shatter the proudest swords
she asked me to wait
while she got undressed
Erin adjusted my fate
granting me in the sight of the blessed
soon with a date
my soul was caressed
she said she’d meet me in the flesh soon
she makes love to patriots soldiers and poets
always under a full moon
I’d be marked and my lover would know it
she would appear as an angel
known as Shawn (Colvin)
whose duty would be to tell
where to wait for the new dawn
this angel would sing me into a trance
and when I awoke she would ask me to dance
safe in heaven no more to roam
my immortal beloved
with silver tears she would welcome me home
end
