Alison Krauss, Union Station - Doesn’t Have to Be This Way lyrics

Sometimes I wonder where you're coming from
When you roll in like thunder just
To turn around and run
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay

You smell like moonlight and
Early morning rain
Pray tell a fool might surrender to your pain
Or find a cure for your decay

You're at your best with an
Ache in your chest
And that worn out old song that you play
Only Jesus and you long to teach us
Should no one be left to betray

I don't know the answer but
I know who to blame
You can choose the dancer or
You could choose the flame
I think you'll find they're
One and the same
It doesn't have to be this way

You're at your best with an
Ache in your chest
And that worn out old song that you play
Only Jesus and you long to teach us
Should no one be left to betray

I don't know the answer but
I know who to blame
Pray tell a fool might surrender to your pain
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay

Sometimes I wonder where you're coming from
When you roll in like thunder just
To turn around and run
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay
It doesn't have to be this way
