Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why don't you 'phone some, 'cause I love you.
An' honey, I know I've been away some,
I've had to pay some and you have too.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
'Cause I'm restless tonight.
I just can't stand bein' alone.
Gonna have to change that some day.
There's a restless feelin' in my bones an' I know,
That at times, it just won't go away.
So if it's all the same, honey, I can't take the blame, baby,
I can't play your game, honey, what's true is true.
And if, in the end, the temptation wears you thin, honey,
I'll, I'll just pretend that I'll leave it up to you.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended andled down town.
Can't help it if I'm full of fire.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around,apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.

This era of Alison and Union Station was my favorite, she released so many videos and they seem to all be linked and told a story starting with "Lucky One" from there their music and videos were really epic and so relatable to lovers and heartbreakers.
@sugardaddy9992001
Yes indeed! I still listen every once in awhile. She reminds me a much much simpler time and i like it.
@kenneth9177
Agreed!!
@robonbass6864
Me and my beautiful love would cover these songs. I'd play while she sang... When she was at her best she had that Alison Krauss type voice .. Then the drugs got a hold of her and we had alot of problems. She died July 23rd at 47 ... These songs will forever be a part of her and my story... I love you Arie Queen 👑 ❤️
@shyba2011

@papa-ql3xb
this woman is the very definition of angelic- her looks and her voice. I love her choice of songs, but truly wish she would cover more love songs. nobody is better, nobody!
@timschultz7597
I have no doubt, when I die, and if I am allowed entry into Heaven; the angels will sound just like Allison Krauss.
