Sinking Stone Songtext

von Alison Krauss & Union Station

I called you today
Wanting to change
I never meant to hurt anyone
Never meant for you to pull out your guns

And feelings won't stay
In this meager parade
You're beating to a different drum
In the lack of all the luster we've become

Save your breath
You know we both
Tried our best
But it's leaving

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hour's getting sour
It 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 the sinking stone

Don't sit on the fence
Live in past tense
Holding on to wishes and words
And folding out a picture we blurred

'Cause here in the end
I'm losing a friend
Fighting back tear when it burns
Diving up the pieces that we were

Save your breath
You know we both
Tried our best
But it's leaving

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hour's getting sour
It 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 the sinking stone

I can say you're all alone
I'm accepting what I own
Here lies a blanket
You're not abandoned
I'm unable to restrain
When the weight that we became
Is drawing me under

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hour's 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 hour's getting sour
It 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 the sinking stone
