8. Letting Go
Lyrics kahlo2013

V1 the last time that we talked
you spoke of former ties
as the shifting ground
from which you flew boldly
into my life
/the last time I held you
you stiffened, moved away
like on a tethered cord
pulling you fiercely back to
familiar days

C I watch you soar further
to the horizon
leaving behind everything we had
straddling the cliff edge of sanity
I reach out hoping to catch your hand
wishing that the passion
that gave you courage to jump
deep into my heart then
would bring you back...
back again

V2 the last time I saw you
your eyes were off dreaming
like you felt something new
charting out a journey
to test your wings

C

B but ties are not elastic
and tenuous connections break
I back away from the edge
accepting this fate

C I watch you soar further
to the horizon
leaving behind everything we had
straddling the cliff edge of sanity
I wave goodbye hoping you will land
wishing that the passion
that gave you courage to jump
deep into my heart then
would take you there...
there to love
