Let Go 03:41
The wind washed me blue, excavated thoughts of you Prayers sent to the moon, foreign landscapes darkly loom Chorus: Let go, let go Let go, oh oh oh oh oh oh.... The silence of this tune, forbidden loneliness in bloom The sign of the cross, a sheet of dense, irregular loss Chorus Hands in my hair, ragged breath beating the air Betrayal on your face, another love loses its place Chorus Page upon page, hardened silence built the cage A cry from the dark, meets the deafness of your heart Years take a seat, rest your tired and swollen feat You won’t see me no more, no you won’t see me no more, You won’t see me no more, no you won’t see me no more, You won’t see me no more, no you won’t see me no more, Chorus

Muggy heat, bare feet, a sweet summer breeze You caught my eye that rainy night we danced by the sea We were young and unafraid, and ready to love With open arms and busy hands, and no concept of Loss----- I kissed you then with eyelids closed to block out the tears To shut away the darker days drawing too near We were young and brazen then, and falling in love With strength to spare, and hefty dares, and no concept of Loss---- Chorus: Oh no, my love, I just cannot stay The time has come to take me away Oh no, my love, I just cannot stay The time has come to take me away Science, religion, and desperate pleas Are not enough to block the dark angel’s needs We are young, and so afraid, gravely in love With hurting hearts, and failing parts, a deep knowledge of Loss---- Oh no my love I just cannot stay The time has come to take me away Oh no my love I just cannot stay The time has come to take me away We were young and so afraid, gravely in love. With hurting hearts, and failing parts, a deep knowledge of loss.

Down the Liffey the river runs Past the land I’ve called home Towards the flocks in the fields Cross the ocean to land at your heels Chorus I would wander far and wide Just to glimpse your lovely eyes For tomorrow and for tonight For the beauty of your eyes I would climb the cliffs of Mohr Trek the Causeway’s rocky shores Cross the prairies and wheat fields too I would cross them all to get to you Chorus I would wander far and wide Just to glimpse your lovely eyes For tomorrow and for tonight For the beauty of your eyes I will speak these works to you In whichever way you choose I would hold you and buy you gifts Get every item on your shopping list Chorus I would wander far and wide Just to glimpse your lovely eyes For tomorrow and for tonight For the beauty of your eyes Down the Liffey the river runs Past the land I’ve called my home Towards the flocks in the fields Cross the ocean to land at your heels Chorus I would wander far and wide Just to glimpse your lovely eyes For tomorrow and for tonight For the beauty of your eyes (repeat the last 2 lines twice)

I wrote him again, words from an empty drone, I swore I wouldn’t, that I could learn to be alone Challenged to forgive, and told to forget Can’t manage to dispel my hatred yet Chorus: In this lonely space where love used to live I know it’s useless I’ve got nothing left to give Everything now’s about proving a point Don’t even know who I am, he’s got me all out of joint Pushing the line, tip-toeing on the edge But he’s still got the power to push me off the ledge Chorus: In this lonely space where love used to live I know it’s useless I’ve got nothing left to live Bridge: It’s simple science really, called spotlight attention Looking at the same scene with different perceptions I saw a horse, and you saw a frog Instead of kissing it you ran from what you saw... Now I’m a micro-expression, to little to see Devoid of feeling, struck by this hollow disease Pushing through people to hide from the pain, To distract from the fact that it will never be the same Challenged to forgive, and told to forget Can’t manage to dispel my hatred yet Chorus: In this lonely space where love used to live I know it’s useless I’ve got nothing left to give

The ritual of undying love, the secret's out to care about The judge's thrown to cast a bone, to turn away more lonely days Chorus: The ties that bind, the sacred lines ‘tween truth and lies, my sacrifice The shadow of your flickering love Too many times, the ties that bind The deepest low, the darkest show, A loop repeats and sounds defeat The choice to make, ‘tween love and hate The ritual of undying love Chorus: The ties that bind, the sacred lines ‘tween truth and lies, my sacrifice The shadow of your flickering love Too many times, the ties that bind Bridge: Walls that stand, ‘tween longing hands ‘tis easier than this sinking sand x2 Instrumental Break The drummers hand beats harder than The stares that find my aching mind Nerves will fire, transmitting wires To mess about and conjure doubt Chorus: The ties that bind, the sacred lines ‘tween truth and lies, my sacrifice The shadow of your flickering love Too many times, the ties that bind Bridge: Walls that stand, ‘tween longing hands ‘tis easier than this sinking sand x2

Save your batteries, I'm running with the bulls today You're not a veteran but you act like one Oh... Chorus: I watched you tunnel through my heart I didn't see you start But now you're here to stay Even though I'm far away I wasn't looking for what I found The problem hides in the solution I want to tell you everything That runs through my head Was I someone special too Chorus; I watched you tunnel through my heart I didn't see you start But now you're here to stay Even though you're far away You weren't looking for what you found I want to touch your sleep Re-align our resting places I'm scared if I keep breathing I won't see you leave You woke up a sleeping giant....
