Alison Krauss & Union Station - Take Me For Longing Lyrics

Alison Krauss & Union Station Lyrics

"Take Me For Longing"

Don't choose me because I am faithful
Don't choose me because I am kind
If your heart settles on me, I'm for the taking
Take me for longing or leave me behind

I would be for you a fire in a rainbow
I would be for you an opening door
Time and hard lessons are one kind of wisdom
Try to forget them or love me no more

I'm not asking your heart to believe me
I'm not asking for promise or pledge
Whatever the answer, it's "Yes" that's the question
I am the fool dancing over the edge

Don't choose me because I am faithful
Don't choose me because I am kind
If your heart settles on me, I'm for the taking
Take me for longing or leave me behind
