I Will Let You Go

Put your hands in the water

Watch them go under

Put your hands to the light

watch the light come through

And I will let you go

And I will let you go

Put your time on the table

See who’ll sit down with you

Give your love to the ones who offer you bruise

After bruise, after bruise

And I will let you go

And I will let you go

And I will let you go

How we play fight

As we dance slow

The smile you made saying ‘yes’ meaning ‘no’

Is so grey, so faint.

The words stray in your mouth with an ache

I’m standing in water with the light on my shoulder

The weight of the doubt turned me to glass

I’m through living in question

Dreaming the answers

No more paving the present with pain from my past

And I will let you go

And I will let you go

And I will let you go

And I will let you go
