Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart
Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Other Songs - Alison Krauss (And Union Station)
Thousand miles
Of lonesome highway
Drinking gallons of coffee in a little cafe
Brought me here, and it's so good to find there's someone who's got
The same story as mine
Just look at us, we're a couple hard cases
So how'd we end up where we are?
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
I feel somethin hittin me awful hard
I don't know where it's gonna lead
I just know it starts
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
(Alison)
Been so long
I can't believe I'd get somethin so sweet
Where an ache used to be, don't fall
If love anymore but I'd never met anyone like you before
Stay here with me for a couple more minutes
I think there's somethin goin' on
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
I feel somethin hittin me awful hard
Don't know where it's gonna lead
I just know it starts
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
(Shenandoah)
Well it sure took a while to find it
It's been waiting there all this time
(Both)
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
I feel somethin hittin me awful hard
(Alison)
Don't know where it's gonna lead
(Shenandoah)
Well I just know it starts
(Both)
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart
