Choctaw Hayride

Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Live [Rounder] [2002]

I lit my love and watched it burn

Asking nothing in return

Except the lessons I will learn

From holding crazy faith.



I've been touched by that bright fire

Down to the root of my desire

While the smoke, it rises higher

Glowing crazy faith.



You're not asking if I love this man

I know you don't, you don't believe you can

Yet I've seen the love open like a dancers fan

It's crazy, I know, but my faith says so.

It tells me.



--- Instrumental ---



Am I a fool for hanging long?

Would I be a fool for being long gone

When is daylight gonna dawn

On my crazy faith.



The questions will not let me sleep

The dance is buried way too deep

But the bottom lover, lover's keep

Made by crazy faith.



You're not asking if I love this man

I know you don't, you don't believe you can

Yet I've seen the love open like a dancers fan

It's crazy, I know, but my faith says so

It tells me.



--- Instrumental Break ---



Love you're losin', those you love

Let the hope fly from the glove

Do not search the skies above

Search your crazy faith.



Love is lightning, love is ice

It only strikes the lucky twice

Once or you will know the price

And once for crazy faith.



You're not asking if I love this man

I know you don't, you don't believe you can

Yet I've seen the love open like a dancers fan

It's crazy, I know, but my faith says so...
