Alison Krauss Lyrics
"That Kind of Love"

(Michael McDonald - Pat Bergeson)

Who would sell their soul for love?
Or waste one tear on compromise
Should be easy enough to know
A heartache in disguise.

But the heart rules the mind
And the going gets rough
Pride takes the fall
When you find that kind of love.

I can't help feeling like a fool
Since I lost that place inside
Where my heart knew it's way
And my soul was ever wise.

Once innocence was lost
There was not faith enough
Still my heart held on
When it found that kind of love.

Though beauty is rare enough
Still we trust somehow we'll find it there
With no guarantee it seems to me
At least it should be fair.

But if it's only tears and pain
Isn't it still worth the cost
Like some sweet saving grace
Or a river we must cross.

If we don't understand
What this life is made of
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love.

'Cause when innocence is lost
There is not faith enough
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love...
