Krauss, Alison - Heartstrings Lyrics






Way up north where the snow flies and the sun don't hardly shine
If it weren't for my true love, I'd long ago lost my mind
I'd long ago lost my mind

There's good folks here, good folks there, most everywhere I go
But the land of my heart is down where the snow white cotton grows
Where the snow white cotton grows

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground
When the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound

Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree
Holdin' through tornado winds
Tougher than timber, stronger than steel
They'll guide me back southward again
They'll guide me back southward again

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground
And when the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound

    A beauty of a song I'm hearing for the first time.🌼

    Love this song. Will always remind me of the cold, wonderful winter I first heard with my partner Steve of 26 years (so far). Completely incongruous to the song, I was reading a great book on Lizzie Borden by a woman that knew her named "A Private Disgrace". We rescued a kitten from the cold parking lot that winter. Just shows everyone has their own particular fond stories and memories of a song. For me, this is a fascinating Lizzie Borden book, cold, cold snowy weather, rescuing a kitten, and my wonderful partner Steve. Thanks for posting the song to bring back those memories. Tim.

    I never liked bluegrass until my grandmother bought this cd for me. I still might not like all bluegrass, but I will always love Allison. Thanks Grandma for introducing her to me. :)
