Last week in Montana Peggy and I were fortunate enough to see Allison Krauss perform live in a tiny little park in Billings. It was a wonderful warm summer night. Who knew that she would perform one of my favorite sad songs (most her songs are sad) or that the tune would be so prescient*.
ALISON
KRAUSS - IT'S OVER
The nights are so lonely and the days
pass me by
True love has faded, left me behind
So we'll just move along, stop
wasting time
It's over all over now
It's over, end of the line
It's over and your doin' fine
It's over and over and over I'm
asking why
You're leaving it's over now
Gone are the love songs that only we knew
Robbed by the cold wind that sings
the night through
Gone is the sweet love, tried but
untrue
It's over all over now
It's over, end of the line
It's over and my desperate heart is
still trying to find some way
Hoping you'll stay
'Cause it's over,
all over now
It's over, all over now
