9 To 5 lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Dolly Parton)

I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch, trying to come to life
I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barley getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you've got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship'll come in
The tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll you away

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barley getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

But You Know I Love You lyrics - Alison Krauss & Union Station

When the morning sun
Streaks across my room
And I'm waking up
From another dream of you
When I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All that's left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams

But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you

How I wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'Cause I've got so much to give
But it seems so cold
Down inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keeping us apart

But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you

And if only I could find
My way back to the time
When the problems of this life
Had yet not crossed my mind
And the answers could be found
In children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you
I'd come running back to you

Mmmmm

But you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent
I must leave you all alone
You know I made
My choice many years ago
And now this traveling life
It's the only life I know

But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you

But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you...

Come And Go Blues lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by The Gregg Allman Band)

People say that you're no good
But I wouldn't cut you loose, baby, if I could
I seem to stay down on the ground
But baby, I'm too far gone to turn around

If only you would make up your mind
To take me where you go or leave me layin' behind

But Lord, you got those come and go blues, I swear you do
But Lord, you got those come and go blues
Lord, you've got me feelin' like a fool
Just like a fool

'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Don't ask me why I stay here, 'cause I don't know
Well, maybe I'm, I'm a fool to care
But without your sweet love, I would be nowhere

So here I stay, locked in your web
And until that day I might find someone else

'Cause I don't know just when that will be, yeah
I don't know, 'cause I can't say and I can't see

Sail on, darlin', sail on
You just go your way, and I'll go mine
It seems to me that I once heard
That everything is finally cured by time

Darlin', sail on, babe, sail on
I just wish you good luck
And I'll see you when you come next time

You just got those come and go blues, you know you do
Lord, you got those come and go blues
Lord, you've got me feelin' like a fool

Do This Life lyrics - High Valley & Alison Krauss

I had a dream the other night
That right was wrong and wrong was right
And nothing was the way it's meant to be
I couldn't find you anywhere
Yeah, I was lost, I said a prayer
Just hoping God would bring you back to me
Yeah, I saw it with my eyes closed, how?
That's a road I never wanna go down

'Cause that world don't turn
That sun don't burn
No, nothing works
I'm lost without you
That band don't play
There ain't no way
Not one day, one night
I can't do this life without you

Clocks don't tick and time unwinds
Songs don't sing and words don't rhyme
If you ain't there to hold, it won't make sense
I'd be a rambling on without a home
Looking for you everywhere I go

'Cause that world don't turn
That sun don't burn
No, nothing works
I'm lost without you
That band don't play
There ain't no way
Not one day, one night
I can't do this life without you
I can't do this life
I can't do this life without you

I know every breath I breathe, yeah
This heart, every beat is for you
Right now and all the time I need ya
Need ya

'Cause that world don't turn
That sun don't burn
No, nothing works
I'm lost without you
That band don't play
There ain't no way
Not one day, one night
I can't do this life without you
I can't do this life
I can't do this life without you
I can't do this life
I can't do this life without you

Sitting In The Window Of My Room lyrics - Alison Krauss

(from "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" soundtrack)

I sat in the window of my room
Watched you go away
It was all I could do
It was all I could do

Your going away
To leave me alone
In all of this sorrow
In this misery

So look now, my darling
I'll have to abandon
All thought of you
As your going away

I still see your dear little head
As it touched mine
Saying goodbye, forever goodbye
Those words you said to me have broken my heart
Yes, they've broken my heart
They were false and did lie

Goodbye, my dear
Goodbye forever
Your going away
Your going away

Death is hard
But your leaving is worse
Oh yes, my dear
Your leaving is worse

Your going, my dear
Your going forever
And leaving me all alone with this grief

So how, my dear
How will I forget you
When I see your face wherever I go
When I close my eyes
It's as though I see you
Your beautiful blue eyes, your beautiful lie

I sat in the window of my room
An' I watched you go away
It was all I could do
It was all I could do

Till The Rivers All Run Dry lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Don Williams)

'Til the rivers all run dry
'Til the sun falls from the sky
'Til life on Earth is through
I'll be needing you

I know sometimes you may wonder
From little things I say and do
But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you 'cause I'll need you

'Til the rivers all run dry
'Til the sun falls from the sky
'Til life on Earth is through
I'll be needing you

Too many times I don't tell you
Too many things get in the way
And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me in every way

'Til the rivers all run dry
'Til the sun falls from the sky
'Til life on Earth is through
I'll be needing you

'Til life on Earth is through
I'll be needing you

"Windy City" (2017)



Losing You lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Brenda Lee)

Don't sigh a sigh for me
Don't ever cry for me
This is goodbye from me
I know we're through
I'm losing you

Love sang it's song for me
Then things went wrong for me
Nights are too long for me
Because I'm looosing you

Our love... and our devotion
Were deep... as any ocean
Then one day, like the tide
You began to change
And you became... a perfect stranger

Someone is holding you
Sharing the lips I knew
I can't believe it's true
That I am looosing you

I can't believe it's true
That I am looosing... youuuu...

It's Goodbye And So Long To You lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by The Osborne Brothers & Mac Wiseman)

You can send me pretty flowers
You can send me valentines
Send me letters every day but it won't pay
Leap to my desires, nothing else will do
It's goodbye and so long to you!

You can hang around and love me
You can hang your head and cry
Hang my picture on the wall, but I won't fall
Kiss me when you're dreaming, no good that will do
It's goodbye and so long to you!

You can give me your affection
You can give me all your love
Give me all the things I crave, but I'll be brave
All the things you offer, make me sad and blue
It's goodbye and so long to you!

You can hang around and love me
You can hang your head and cry
Hang my picture on the wall, but I won't fall
Kiss me when you're dreaming, no good that will do
It's goodbye and so long to you!

You can call me your own darling
You can call me what you may
Call me on the telephone I won't be home
Keep your old love letters, I'm all through with you
It's goodbye and so long to you!

Windy City - Alison Krauss

(originally by The Osborne Brothers)

We came to big city, from our little country town
And every step he takes with you, is down
And you're as cold and heartless, as your chilling winds that blow
Before you freeze his heart, please let him go

Windy City; you're haunting my baby
With your bright lights and your avenues so wild
Windy City; turn loose of my baby
If you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind

At night I walk your sidewalks, and look in every bar
I love him even though, he's gone too far
Your swinging doors stay open, just to keep him from my side
And I'm on your lonely streets, again tonight

Windy City; you're haunting my baby
With your bright lights and your avenues so wild
Windy City; turn loose of my baby
And if you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind
If you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind...

I Never Cared For You lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Willie Nelson)

The sun is filled with ice, and gives no warmth at all
And the sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching, for a place to fall
And I never cared, for you

I know you won't believe these things I tell you
I know, you won't believe
Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you
And your mind, cannot conceive
Now all depends on, what I say to you
I know, you're doubting me
So I've prepared these statements far from true
Take heed, and disbelieve

The sun is filled with ice, and gives no warmth at all
The sky was never blue
Stars are raindrops searching, for a place to fall
And I, never cared for you

The sun is filled with ice, and gives no warmth at all
And the sky, was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching, for a place to fall
And I, never cared for you
And I, never cared for you
And I, never cared, for you...

River In The Rain lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Roger Miller)

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River I love you don't you care

If you're on the run
Winding some place just tryin' to find the sun
Whether the sunshine whether the rain
River I love you just the same

But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles
Roll across my floor
Carryin' away the things I treasure
Hell there ain't ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away from me
River I've never seen the sea

But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles
Roll across my floor
Carryin' away the things I treasure
Hell there ain't ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away from me
River I've never seen the sea

Dream Of Me lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Vern Gosdin)

My life on the road, its been hard on me and you
Every time we say goodbye, it gets harder to do
But when I'm far away somewhere alone, and the missing you starts
All I got to do is picture you, and I can feel you in my heart

So dream of me
Every time you get to feeling blue
Dream of me
And I'll be dreaming of you

I've been a lot of places, but there's no place like home
And I'm on my way back to you, every minute that I'm gone
So when you get to feeling lonely, just remember we won't always be apart
Close your eyes and think of me, and you can feel me in your heart

So dream of me
Every time you get to feeling blue
Dream of me
And I'll, be dreaming of you

Dream of me
Every time you get to feeling blue
Dream of me
And I'll, be dreaming of you

Gentle On My Mind lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Glen Campbell)

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried up on some line

That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit, together walking

It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find

That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's crying to her mother
'Cause she turned and you were gone

I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind

But not to where I cannot see
You walking on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

You dip your cup of soup, back from a gurgling
Crackling caldron, in some train yard
Your beard a roughening coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across your face

Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

That you're waiting from the backroads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind

All Alone Am I lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Brenda Lee)

All alone am I, ever since your goodbye
All alone, with just a beat of my heart
People all around, but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating, of my heart

No use in holding other hands!
For I'd be holding, only emptiness
No use in kissing other lips
For I'd be thinking, just of your caress

All alone am I, ever since your goodbye
All alone, with just a beat of my heart
People all around, but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating, of my heart

No other voice can say the words!
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low!
No other love can ev'r bring again

All alone am I, ever since your goodbye
All alone, with just a beat of my heart
People all around, but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating; of my heart!...

Poison Love lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Bill Monroe)

For your poison love has stained the life
But in my heart and soul dear
And I know my life, will never be the same
While my pleadings has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same

Into each life, a love is born
For one and one alone dear
The love I chose, was surely not for me
For your poison love, has stained the life
Blood in my heart and soul dear
And I know our love, was never meant to be

All your poison love has stained the life
But in my heart and soul dear
And I know my life, will never be the same
While my pleadings has, all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same

But still my heart cries out for you
And you alone my darling
It makes me never ever let you go
But my pleadings has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And my better judgement, tells me to say no

For your poison love has stained the life
But in my heart and soul dear
And I know my life, will never be the same
While my pleadings has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same

You Don't Know Me lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Eddy Arnold)

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Ànd whoms to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
But you don't know me

For I never knew, the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance, that you might have loved me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
You watched me walk away
Beside my lucky guy
To never, never know
The one who loves you so
No you don't know me

For I never knew, the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance, that you might have loved me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
You watched me walk away
Beside my lucky guy
To never, never know
The one who loves you so
No; you don't; know me...

Make The World Go Away lyrics - Alison Krauss (feat. Jamey Johnson)

Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me?
Before the world took me astray?
Well if you do, then forgive me
And make the world, go away

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, go away

I'm so sorry, if I hurt you
I'll make it up, day by day
Just say you'll love me like you used to
And make the world, go away

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world, go away

Say the things you used to say
And make the world, go away

Till I Can Gain Control Again lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Emmylou Harris)

Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin

I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you
And what you've seen is what I've been
And there is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can

Out on the road that leads before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again

Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark the sailor's journeys end
No matter what seas I've have been sailing on
I'll always roll this way again

Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again

Till I can gain control again
