Patti and Joan transcend - Higher than the Moon



I haven't heard Patti's New Year's Show yet, but it seems it will be very hard to top Patti's backing of Joan Osborne's performance the night before when she got her birthday wish, of having Osborne sing ST. TERESA.  The perfomance is magical, as Patti provides backing vocals the like of which haven't been heard since the olden days of Blue Osyter Cults The Revenge of Veri Gemini.

  SAINT TERESA  Joan Osborne 
   
  PATTI: We are the girls of Kentucky 
A young girl dreamed 
She fell asleep with her head against a rock 
And she dreamed of herself singing 
Singing not only of the love in her heart 
But the sorrows of her fellow man 
And she sang the song 
of Teresa 
   
   
  JOAN: Sit down on the corner, just a little climb 
When I make my money, got to get my dime 
Sit down with her baby, wind is full of trash 
She bold as the street light, dark and sweet as hash 
   
  Way down in the hollow, leaving so soon 
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon 
   
  PATTI: The sorrow hasnt spilled 
Fill our hearts 
   
  JOAN: Just what I've been needing, feel it rise in me 
She say every stone a story, like a rosary 
Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime 
When I make my money, got to get my dime 
   
  Way down in the hollow, leaving so soon 
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon 
   
  Reach down for the sweet stuff, when she looks at me 
I know any man sees you like I see 
Follow down the side street moving single file 
She say: That's where I'll hold you, sleeping like a child 
   
  Way down in the hollow, leaving so soon 
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon 
   
  You called up in the sky 
You called up in the clouds 
Is there something you forgot to tell me 
tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
  tell...  me 
   
  Show me my Teresa, feel it rise in me 
Every stone a story 
like a rosary
