Alison Krauss - Sinking Stone Lyrics






I called you today
Wanting a change
I never meant to hurt anyone
Never meant for you to pull out your guns
But feelings won't stay
In this meager parade
You're beating to a different drum
In this lack of all the luster we've become

Save your breath
You know we've both
Tried our best
But it's leaving

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
And I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone...

Don't sit on the fence
Living past tense
Holding on to wishes and words
Folding out a picture we blur
Cause here in the end
I'm losing a friend
Fighting back a tear when it burns
Dividing up the pieces that we were

Save your breath
You know we've both
Tried our best
But it's leaving

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone...

I can't say you're all alone
I'm accepting what I own
Here lies a blanket not a bandage

I'm unable to restrain
When the wake that we became
Is drawing me under

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone...

    I find it hard to believe that there is 1 dislike. How can you dislike this?

    S.... ....

    How could anyone? Ever?

  5. S.... ....

    Alison Krauss and Union Station is a gift from heaven. I doesn't get better than this.

  6. T.... A....

    Alison has a beautiful voice!

  7. E.... A....

    Easily the most beautiful voice of any female vocalist in history.

    E.... A....

    I agree, but Natalie Merchant & Heather Nova are runners up. Do check them out.

  8. W.... ....

    Her voice is so beautiful, I can't listen her and not to cry. And I'm a man (soft of). Don't judge me.

    W.... ....

    Wokal you're a good man.

  9. j.... ....

    this may be the most beautiful and sad breakup song for all times. just pure perfection in arrangement and delivery. perfect melodies

  10. n.... ....

    I like their version, but NO ONE will EVER sing this song better than Jeremy Lister himself. I LOVE than man & his beyond amazing voice

  11. e.... ....

    @timsricochet They are nominated this year. I feel sorry for the other nominees. There isn't much room to win against them every year.

  12. W.... ....

    Her voice...pure beauty

  13. T.... ....

    @Kueck10893 not to mention his role as director. This band is Jerry's baby! Incredibly brilliant producer.

  14. m.... ....

    absolutley class

  15. D.... T....

    Looks lite they're watin' on the bus. I truly truly love these guys.

  16. t.... ....

    You do it beautifully, Alison. Jeremy Lister did this, and you pulled a good song from that CD. It's almost like he wrote it for you.

  17. J.... R....

    @asmirnov2006 thaz what i tryin to tell u!!

  18. a.... ....

    В пробках хорошо стоят под это. Все пох, что за окном.

  19. A.... A....

    Brilliant song written by Jeremy Lister (Street Corner Symphony) and recorded on his new CD, The Bed You Made, with Allison singing background on this and two other cuts!

  20. t.... ....

    I feel they deserve another Grammy for this new effort.
