I've put it all behind me
Nothin' 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
Love is hard to measure
Hidden in the rain
That's why you'll find me
Here all alone and still wonderin' why
Waitin' inside for the cold to get colder
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
Hopin' 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
Flyin' in the folded wind
Ridin' high, dippin' low
But innocence is fair game
I'm hopin' I can hold it in
Our love will die, I know
Nothin' 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
Love is hard to measure
Hidden in the rain
That's why you'll find me
Here all alone and still wonderin' why
Waitin' inside for the cold to get colder
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
Hopin' 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
Flyin' in the folded wind
Ridin' high, dippin' low
But innocence is fair game
I'm hopin' I can hold it in
Our love will die, I know

RIP Ann.
Her voice hits me in some visceral place - it makes me shiver and vibrate (pretty embarrassing in public, so it's a good thing I'm usually alone when I listen to her...) She and Patty Griffin do that to me. Amazing voice, and with Union Station as backup, how could she go wrong? I understand, now, why Robert Plant chose her as a partner-in-crime. A perfect balance.
RIP Ann.Damn!
Absolutely one of my very favorite female voices, if not THE favorite!

Going to see this angel next month. I cannot wait, it has been too long. Oh yeah, some old rocker named Plant will be there too.

Good memories of listening to this on RP on road trips back in 2014-2016.

Just magic
Shhhh! Just listen.

Witnessing Alison Krauss's voice live is pretty special. Backed with Union Station, it's a truly moving experience.

thank you for listening <3
As my last wish, I want Alison to whisper something, anything, in my ear. I will die with a smile on my face, and... er... maybe leave a wet spot.
Oh and I'm from Illinois, so that makes it ok.

That Jerry Douglas picking is the perfect compliment to Alison’s otherworldly voice.
Vocal lessons not required....
wonderful , she sounds just like Joni
What a beautiful piece of music
I don't hate God. But she did not grant me any gifts remotely like Krauss singing this song. So sure, I can get a little bitter.

Fully agree. Elton John once said about James Taylor. Even if James Taylor would just sing the names in a telephone book i would listen to that. Same applies for Alison Kraus
She could sing death metal to me and i would still fall apart.

I guess a prodigious musician and singer, who has been releasing records since she was about sixteen years-old, ought to just retire or go back to playing only traditional bluegrass music, because you have deemed it so. Her fans, sales, awards, and other accolades are completely meaningless.
Agreed. Also to the original source comment, "chick version"? That's quite disparaging and mysoginistic. Perhaps only men can sing? This song is lyrically gorgeous, well-balanced, and really pleasing for any mood.

I’m drunk with adoration 🥳
love the Jerry Douglas part the best
Level 10 Goosebumps

Just awesome.
I'm sat here looking out at a typical autumn day in southern England, and the hairs on the back of my neck are telling me that is a very special voice ..

you right mate. I feel the same o:-)
Lawdy. That was sadder'n than even Emmylou or Patty Griffin doing a funeral dirge. Thankful for my cold heart on songs like that. Almost needed a hankie.
This sure does plonk on the ol' heart strings.
She could sing death metal to me and i would still fall apart.

What a voice, what a band, and what a song. 10
Best breakup song ever. As have many experienced before me, I was there leaving a 13 year marriage when this came out and it's still a 10 for me.

That was a great song to listen to and read the lyrics. Great delivery. Excellent guitar. Cheers!
Ok, her emote sounds like a genuine whine.

Bill's 10 says godlike but AK's voice is angelic, maybe it needs an 11.

I share your views totally. Living in Perth, Australia, I was sent to Washington, DC, for work, but had the weekend free, so got a local flight to North Charleston and saw AK and Union Station at their best. What a band they are! Their DVD from the same era, around 2005, is a superb production. If only they would come to Australia. Please play more of them!
I saw Alison Krauss and Union Station, back in the mid-90's — in a local church that was converted to a concert venue... very intimate.
The beauty of that voice is truly something to behold when you're 30 ft away. It was magical.
If you ever get the chance— go and see her live, you won't be disappointed.

Such a hauntingly beautiful and compelling song- but then, her music always makes me want to roadtrip along the backroads of America (again), so there may be some bias there.

Best heard at an outdoor venue on a warm summer evening. With wine, cheese and maybe a few grapes. (And a few thousand of your closest friends.)

I love this song, the words, and the story behind its recording, but am totally baffled at the way it ends.
As always, Ms. Krauss is suffering from a bad case of "angel voice"...

The more I hear of her, the more I love her.
Sorry, SynapseRider. Hope you come out the other side OK.
I've heard this numerous times, always liked it but never really listened to the words. Today I listened. I'm not sure anyone could capture my current situation any better than this. After 23 years, "it's almost over now"...

Can't imagine what was wrong with me last time I heard this...it seems I rated it a 4. At this rate, it will be a 10 in a couple more listens.

Alison Krauss is a great bluegrass fiddler but too often goes into that rhythm chop. Her voice is somewhere in the dog hearing range and she sings it through her nose. That gets annoying after a couple of songs and sounds too whiney. Union Station is a great group of musicians but they should go back to real bluegrass and leave this chick version alone. Alison needs more edge to her stuff...more energy.

Gonna go see lovely Alison and that crazy rock god, Robert Plant...tomorrow night!
Nothing better than outdoor concerts under the stars on a weekday in June 2024.
FYI: they probably will do a cover of "When the Levee Breaks". Ha!
But I don't think Jerry D will be on dobro.
