Alison Krauss - Doesn't Have To Be This Way

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 til a fool but 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 who long to teach us


should know and be left to betray.





I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame


You can choose the dancer if you could choose the flame


I think you’ll find they’re one in 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 who long to teach us


should know and be left to betray.





I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame


Pray til a fool but 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.
