The Price I Pay (with Desert Rose Band) - Emmylou Harris, 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
