Sinking Stone - Alison Krauss, Union Station

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…
