Take Me For Longing

Alison Krause

Dont choose me because i am faithful
Dont choose me because i am kind
If your heart settles on me
Im for the taking
Take me for longing, or leave me behind

I would be for you a fire in a rainstorm
i would be for you an opening door
Time and hard lessons
Are one kind of wisdom
Try to forget them, or love me no more

Im not asking your heart to believe me
Im not asking for promise or pledge
Whatever the answer
Its yes thats the question
I am the fool, dancing over the edge

Dont choose me because i am faithful
Dont choose me because i am kind
If your heart settles on me
Im for the taking
Take me for longing, or leave me behind
