I came here to sink or swim~

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition
I came here to sink or swim
And to show them all that they were wrong
And though I never thought I'd make it this far

So the curtains are down
For the moment I'm someone
There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way
Now there gone
But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are

When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway

And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years
I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Broadway - Alison & Union Station

On the way to somewhere...

These days that I got
I can't be what I'm not
Sacrifices I... made for you
One mistake can go
Through this life so slow
Want to keep myself from making two

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On a way to somewhere
Will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

And the sun will rise
We'll open up our eyes
And see love showin' what's really true
And I would go so far
Just to be where you are
Will take no time bringin' my heart to you

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On a way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

Reaching out from within

Can't tell you where I'd been
Rememberin' something I was told
And it's called me to go
Find my way back home
Hearin' you singin our favorite song

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On the way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong...

These Days - Alison Krauss & Union Station

... Here all alone and still wondering, why?...

And I'm no longer bound...I can let go now...

It was so right
It was so wrong
Almost at the same time
The pain and ache
A heart can take
No one really knows

But when the memories cling
And take you there
Till you no longer care
You can let go now

It's not right for me
To cling to you
Somehow I just needed time
From what was to be
It's not like me
To hold somebody down

But I was tossed high by love
Almost never came down
Only to land
Where no love is found
And I'm no longer bound
I can let go now

I Can Let Go Now - Alison Krauss

How could I be so blind...To think I'd be the one to change your mind...

When you came to me
You said love could not erase
The ever present memory of another face

I tried to make you love me
How could I be so blind
To think I'd be the one to change your mind

And if I'm gone before you start
Well you can find me in your heart
Who can say if its right wrong
I've waited for you too long
And if I can't hold on
I'm Gone

When you came to me
I said love will find a way
For every heart that leaves
Another heart must stay

I guess you couldn't see
As the shadow's in the night
It seems the time for us just wasn't right

And if I'm gone before you start
Well you can find me in your heart
Who can say if its right wrong
I've waited for you too long
And if I can't hold on
I'm Gone...

Before I could run I found you already settled down... In the back of my mind...

I turned around
Before I could run
I found you already settled down
In the back of my mind
I know this is just a customary fever
The moon is a deceiver
That will leave you running blind

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin' deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

Didn't want to
Look in the eyes of the one that
I would be drawn to
I'm a moth lost in a fire
And I know this
Is just a beautiful illusion
A case of the confusion
Between love and desire

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin' deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better

And I'd be in love
When the flame burns out
And finally settles down
You'll forget
I ever came around

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

I turned around
Before I could run
I found you already settled down
In the back of my mind

If I Didn't Know Any Better - Alison Krauss & Union Station

...Is it you for your indifference or me for just standing there?

You close the door in front of me, I wait patiently outside
But as the minutes tick away I feel the anger rise
Who's the object of my rage, who's not being fair?
Is it you for your indifference or me for just standing there?

Cause in my mind the room beyond is bathed in golden light
I dream about you through the day and I toss and turn at night
Sometimes it's hard to understand when they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay on the outside looking in?

Well I didn't make the grade today and I'm not the only one
But my heart, it won't stop hurting and feeling all alone
Maybe we'll trade places in some not too distant year
I'll hear your voice calling out, and I'll cover up my ears

Cause in my mind the room beyond is bathed in golden light
I dream about you through the day and I toss and turn at night
Sometimes it's hard to understand when they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay on the outside looking in?

Well I could brag on things I've done or the places I have been
But I never found a cure for on the outside looking in
Sometimes it's hard to understand when they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay on the outside looking in?

On the Outside Looking In - Alison Krauss & Union Station

Here all alone and still wondering why, hoping to fly, cause it's almost over now...

I've put it all behind me

Nothing left to do or doubt

Some may say...

But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud

That comes my way

Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain

No choice I fear

And love is hard to measure hidden in the rain

That's why you'll find me...

...Here all alone and still wondering why

Waiting inside for the cold to get colder

And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time

Hoping to fly, cause it's almost over now

People come together, people go their own way

Love conquers few

And I'll do whatever, I'll say what I need to say

Just not for you

How many days should I smile with a frown?

'Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders

And how many nights must I wake up alone?

And know in my soul that it's almost over now

Our love is like a paper airplane flying in the folded wind

Riding high, dipping low

And innocence is fair game, I'm hoping I can hold it in

Our love will die, I know

Paper Airplane - Alison Krauss & Union Station

Forgive me if I'm keeping you apart from better conversation...

Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations
Flying above the rest, never fallin' from the nest
Tuesday came and went and now I'm in a little situation
Maybe it's for the best, I can live alone, I guess

Maybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on home

Forgive me if I'm keeping you apart from better conversation
I'm hung up on all my doubt, trying to sort the whole thing out
Tell me that I'm smart enough to deal with all the information
Spinning inside my head every word he ever said

Maybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on home

Maybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on home
