Top of the World Lyrics

Cover art for Top of the World lyrics by Patty Griffin

She recorded two versions of this song. First, in 2000, in her "unreleased" Silver Bell album. That was the version the Chicks followed, it had the same arrangement with the pause after the first verse. Silver Bell is an awesome album that fits nicely between Flaming Red and 1000 Kisses, which otherwise you might never believe came from the same artist. It can be downloaded from copies made of promos from a lot of places on the internet. Anyway, the superior version, with the slow, whispering first verse, is on Impossible Dream. I bought that album just for that song and was blown away by it and everything else on it.
