Krauss, Alison - Paper Airplane Lyrics






I've put it all behind me
Nothing left to do or doubt
Some may say
But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud
That comes my way

Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain
No choice I fear
And love is hard to measure hidden in the rain

That's why you'll find me here all alone and still wondering why
Waiting inside for the cold to get colder
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
Hoping to fly 'cause it's almost over now

People come together, people go their own way
Love conquers few
And I'll do whatever, I'll say what I need to say
Just not for you

How many days should I smile with a frown?
'Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders
And how many nights must I wake up alone?
And know in my soul that it's almost over now

Our love is like a paper airplane flying in the folded wind
Riding high, dipping low
But innocence is fair game, I'm hoping I can hold it in
Our love will die, I know

  1. J.... H....

    Alison Krauss...in an apron on a porch with the wind in her hair. Verifiable proof of the existence of God.

  5. M.... R....

    So beautiful...the video is also quite artful. The sepia is perfect. The visual suits the sound. Kinda like The Band with their second album. I always thought The Band sounded 'brown'.

  6. l.... ....

  22. D.... R....

    This song! This song speaks what my beyond-repair broken heart goes through each time most of my immediate family ignores and doesn't validate my tries to just hear my important concerns. Well.... no more!

  23. D.... H....

    This song hurts my soul.

  24. D.... H....

  27. G.... N....

    Beautiful song 😍

  28. K.... H....

    I am fair to certain that Allison Krauss is indeed an angel walking the earth among mortal man...The guys in Union Station are of that rare quality that Heaven would couple her with. What a group!

  29. f.... s....

    OMG Alison, enough with the solo stuff. Even though I have it all its not the same, at all. For someone who doesn't listen to country and even though I like bluegrass/folk some I don't get the same joy as listening to AKUS. Part of my soul is starving with you all absent. Please come back.

  30. T.... D....

    Great as always

  31. d.... r....

    NO NO NO NO NO NO
    I HAD A DREAM THAT LOVE WOULD NEVER DIE AND THAT GOD WOULD BE FORGIVING

  32. S.... J....

    I've been a huge fan of Alison Krauss for years love her voice and songs she has such talent❤️....how can people on her channel dislike her songs??😲....they obviously don't know the true voice or sound of what country music is.😞

  33. M.... V....

    What crazy magic is in this video that I love it beyond words?! Yes, the song is really superb, Alison is heart-achingly beautiful and the music, as always, is a delight - but the "ordinary yet weird" video is just inexplicably awesome. Why is this?! I have to know ...

  34. s.... m....

    Her voice is like being offered a kiss of an Angel.

  35. D.... H....

    Man this song hurts my heart!

  36. r.... B....

    Angelic voice, maybe the nicest female voice on earth

  37. H.... D....

    I miss this type of Country songs, any recommendations? I can't find more...

    H.... D....

    Nickle Creek, I'm With Her, Punch Brothers, Live From Here. Search any one of those

  38. T.... ....

  72. h.... ....

    I've been a big fan of AKUS since practically the beginning, and of all the wonderful videos they've done over the years, this one keeps bringing me back to watch again and again. There's other favorite songs, but I just love everything about this video. The old timey look, the location, costumes, and oh, especially her long flowing hair! How I wish she'd grown it out years back. When the band gets around to their next release, I really hope they revisit this concept that they used on Paper Airplane's videos. Just wonderful!

  73. S.... D....

    Her voice is great but this song is not for me. This year will be better.

  74. A.... C....

    I LOVE her! LOVE this song. Heaven sent voice.

  75. I.... ....

    Absolute Perfection!

  76. S.... C....

    it gets no better.

  77. A.... M....

    this song made me cry today on the train... I really didn't expect that to happen, I have heard it before, but today it just did speak to me. I can't stop listening to it again and again. There are loads of comments about how good Alison is and how amazing her voice is. It is true, but guys, come on, listen to this song and its lyrics, it is a MASTERPIECE!!!

  78. C.... C....

    I this video of my favorite bluegrass band. I chose Paper airplane impassively as a response to the unlawful intrusion to suffer the people a violation of my Constitutional Rights. the violation of my humane rights. It is absolutely inhumane how I am exploited, and left to the ruin of derelictions of duty, and the fearfulness of the people to step up to the plate to fight against common foes. negative propaganda, cybercrime, violence, prejudice, discrimination, and censorship of the truths needed to be great leaders. To do so without threat of entrapment, and the voice of the people to be effective in modern times. I need sound counsel if am to be a great American, I need sound information if I am to teach the people a new way to rise above corruption, and I need love to stand fiercely against the censorship of truth that is deluded to fighting over issues that bury the impoverished.
    Remember it is a sin to remain in poverty. No man can evolve in a new world without the truth, and resources to build a new society of leaders, and entrepreneurs. Teach the youth to love prosperity, and the nation will prosper, teach to love calamity, and we will all fall.
    God help me the people to know who I am, and not what I am that I may be chosen. Help them to know what I am that I may be trusted. help me to trust, and to know you, and I will be your friend. Our children need friends, not enemies.
    God bless our hearts, and minds that we may overcome disease that our children are not ravaged by unknown enemies. Bless our eyes that we may see a better future for all mankind.

  79. A.... A....

    I love this song, it's soft & a bit sad !!! The music is also cute, so May God bless you some more Alison Krauss & the band !!!

  80. F.... F....

    her shoes look better over her head.

  81. l.... ....

    Une de ces plus belle chanson , un charme fou et une voix a tomber par terre .

  82. K.... G....

    For the cold to get colder. Love conquers few.

  83. M.... D....

    she had me at the first sound of her voice'

  84. p.... 7....

    one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, sung by the most fabulous voice of all time, played by masters of their craft. thank you, akus

  85. R.... W....

    whoever gave this song a thumb down should be shot!!

    R.... W....

    for sure

    R.... W....

    I know you are just joking. But your statement kind of project that shooting is okay or something.

    R.... W....

    Why do you even take the time to care?

    R.... W....

    1/2 of any group is below its average

  86. V.... H....

    Why does this have only 2M views

  87. K.... S....

    she sings so pretty

  88. R.... G....

    Ya know , I think she's much prettier these days . Each year that passes she becomes prettier . I mean , in 20 years ... she'll easily be the most beautiful woman in the world at the rate she's going

  89. r.... s....

    No moolies can sing as pretty and listenable as this angel!!

  90. K.... G....

    hypnotic.

  91. J.... L....

    I don't know why she speaks to me. I'm a grunge type, yet her sad ballets, are amazing. Kurt Cobain should have met her... ;p

    J.... L....

    Jeff Lennon hey you can bet curt would stir be with us had he met Alison instead of the HOLE who actually killed him

  92. R.... O....

    beautiful

  93. T.... B....

    Her voice is from  heaven ................

  94. P.... A....

    When I want some quiet time I put on Alison and just listen. Her voice relaxes me. Can't wait for her new music in February.

  95. R.... ....

    Her music and voice are the zenith, the epitome of classic Americana. I've driven cross country solo several times and listened to her music only on several of those drives, through Iowa, Nebraska........the sights and sounds were so congruent with each other. Thanks, Alison Krauss and Union Station, for all the great music all these years.

    R.... ....

    Rationallogo i can only imagine the sights along with alison's voice. Spine-chilling and amazing!

  96. T.... W....

    she is so freaking hot!!!

  97. l.... ....

    une des chanteuses les plus romantique ,avec un charme fou, j'AIME
