Alison Krauss & Union Station - Take Me For Longing (Live)
Alison Krauss is a musician that I first started listening to in the Fall, and so she has become a sort of late-Summer, early Fall listening choice for me. I’ll probably post more of her later on.
Don’t choose me because I am faithful.
Don’t choose me because I am kind.
If your heart settles on me, I’m for the taking.
Take me for longing or leave me behind.
I would be, for you, a fire in a rainbow,
I would be, for you, an opening door.
Time and hard lessons are one kind of wisdom.
Try to forget them or love me no more.
I’m not asking your heart to believe me.
I’m not asking for promise or pledge.
Whatever the answer, it’s yes, that’s the question.
I am the fool dancing over the edge.
Don’t choose me because I am faithful.
Don’t choose me because I am kind.
If your heart settles on me, I’m for the taking.
Take me for longing or leave me behind.
