Heartstrings Lyrics - Every Time You Say Goodbye - Alison Krauss

(Marshall Wilborn/Flying Pig Music, BMI Happy Valley Music, BMI) 

Way up north where the snow flies and the sun don't hardly shine 

If it weren't for my true love, I'd long ago lost my mind 

I'd long ago lost my mind 

There's good folks here, good folks there, most everywhere I go 

But the land of my heart is down where the snow white cotton grows 

Where the snow white cotton grows 

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground 

When the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint 

We'll be homeward bound 

Me and my love will be homeward bound 

Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree 

Holdin' through tornado winds 

Tougher than timber, stronger than steel 

They'll guide me back southward again 

They'll guide me back southward again

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground 

And when the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint 

We'll be homeward bound 

Me and my love will be homeward bound
