Sinking Stone...

Untying this sinking stone…

ALISON KRAUSS – Sinking Stone

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 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 try, 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.

And I'm waving off the one
who wouldn't let me run.
Though we try, 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.

And I'm waving off the one
who wouldn't let me run.
Though we try, it's a lie.
I can't keep dragging on.
I'm untying this sinking stone...

This might as well be done.
I'm falling with the sun,
when the hours getting sour,
won't save with time.

I can't keep dragging on.
