Lyrics Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss

Foolish Heart

I think I'll take my foolish heart

My friend, and head right for the door

There'll be a better world waitin' if I do

'Cause I know I've been down this road

A time or two before

The only time I let my heart turn to you

Now, I won't be blue

With dreams that won't come true

I'll take my heart

And head right for the door

Still somethin' deep inside keeps

Tellin' me to make the sacrifice

And askin' me to walk the extra mile

I've walked it now to many times

With freedom for the price

Too many times to fight back tears

Behind my smiles

Now, I won't be blue

With dreams that won't come true

I'll take my heart

And head right for the door

I know I must seem quite unkind

To wander off tonight

And leave the moon up above

To hold your gaze

It's only that my foolish heart

Is bound with foolish pride

Maybe some day I'll see the sunshine

Upon your face

Now I won't be blue

With dreams that won't come true

I'll take my heart

And head right for the door

I'll take my heart

And head right for the door
