Crazy Faith

Alison Krauss & Union Station

I lit my love and watched it burn

Asking nothing in return

Except the lessons I will learn

By holding crazy faith



I've been touched by that bright fire

Down to the root of my desire

While the smoke it rises higher

On crazy faith



You're not asking if I love this man

I know you don't, you don't believe you can

Yet I've seen love open like a dancer's fan

It's crazy I know

But my faith says so, it tells me



Am I a fool for hanging on?

Would I be a fool to be long gone?

When is daylight going to dawn

On my crazy faith?



The questions will not let me sleep

Answers buried way too deep

At the bottom of a lover's leap

Made by crazy faith



You're not asking if I love this man

I know you don't, you don't believe you can

Yet I've seen love open like a dancer's fan

It's crazy I know, but my faith says so

It tells me



Love your losing, lose your love

Let the hawk fly from the glove

Then do not search the skies above

Search your crazy faith



Love is lightning, love is ice

It only strikes the lucky twice

Once, so you will know the price

And once for crazy faith



You're not asking if I love this man

I know you don't, you don't believe you can

Yet I've seen love open like a dancer's fan

It's crazy I know but my faith says so
