Alison Krauss, Union Station - Deeper Than Crying lyrics

Leaving is the longest word I ever learned
In the time it takes to say it
The whole world has turned
If a heartbeat lasts a lifetime
Then I've lived before
'Cause I remember standing at this open door

This path is not the one
I'd choose to travel
Even as we watch what tied us unravel
And the tears fall like rain
Deeper than crying, the loving still remains

Neither wants to be the one to say goodbye
And neither wants to be the
One who's left to cry
But in our secret heart of
Hearts we both know
That the time for patching up has
Passed and it's time to go

This path is not the one
I'd choose to travel
Even as we watch what tied us unravel
And the tears fall like rain
Deeper than crying, the loving still remains

So I'll be the one to
Pull our tangled lives apart
I won't dodge the angry words
That hide a broken heart
And my calm fare-thee-wells cannot obscure
That deep inside
My heart is also hurtin' so

This path is not the one
I'd choose to travel
Even as we watch what tied us unravel
And the tears fall like rain
Deeper than crying, the loving still remains
