Alison Krauss & Union Station - Restless + Gravity

Alison Krauss & Union Station (ook wel AKUS genoemd) traden op het jubileum concert van Rounder Records in oktober 2009 op met twee songs: Restless en Gravity.

Songteksten:

Restless:

Honey, I know you’ve been alone some,
Why don’t you ‘phone some, ’cause I love you.
An’ honey, I know I’ve been away some,
I’ve had to pay some and you have too.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I’ve been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led downtown.
An’ I can’t help it if I’m out of sight,
‘Cause I’m restless tonight.

I just can’t stand bein’ alone.
Gonna have to change that some day.
There’s a restless feelin’ in my bones an’ I know,
That at times, it just won’t go away.

So if it’s all the same, honey, I can’t take the blame, baby,
I can’t play your game, honey, what’s true is true.
And if, in the end, the temptation wears you thin, honey,
I’ll, I’ll just pretend that I’ll leave it up to you.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I’ve been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led downtown.
Can’t help it if I’m full of fire.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I’ve been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led downtown.
An’ I can’t help it if I’m out of sight,
‘Cause I’m restless tonight.

Gravity:

I left home when I was seventeen
I just grew tired of falling down
And I’m sure I was told
The allure of the road
Would be all I found

(Chorus:)
And the people who love me still ask me
When are you coming back to town
And I answer quite frankly
When they stop building roads
And there ain’t no more highways to be found
And I answer quite frankly
When they stop building roads
And all God needs is gravity to hold me down
