Lyrics: The Desert Rose Band. Price I Pay.

(Emmylou Harris and The Desert Rose Band)

They tell me I'm the talk of the town,
I've been staying home alone every night.
It's nobody's business where I'm bound,
As if to be alone and lonely just ain't right.

On a old freight train moving down the line,
I'm counting each day and every minute you're away.
I've never been the stay-at-home kind,
But for you, it's just the price that I pay.

It's just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much.
The price I pay for leavin' you,
And putting all this time between us.

I knew I was in trouble when we met,
Dark clouds all around me, I couldn't find the light.
These hard times ain't hard to forget;

Now I believe in love at first sight.

I put my heart and soul on the line,
I know that love is with me every day.
Your picture always there on my mind,
But for you it's just the price that I pay.

It's just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much.
The price I pay for leavin' you,
And putting all this time between us.

It's just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much.
The price I pay for leavin' you,
And putting all this time between us.
